[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 475068, member: 15636"] You really need to know the [b]maximum amps[/b] of anything ON at the same time, plus the [b]length of the run[/b] that is to the battery AND back. Most Mfg’rs list the amp rating, plus anything listed as wattage is (Wattage / 12.6 [nominal DC voltage] = #Amps). Tell me how far away & what you plan to run for electronics or lights and I/we can help, but otherwise you’d just be guessing. Best to do it RIGHT the 1st time ... Somewhere else on here I posted a Minn Kota chart for the recommendation fuse of a trolling motor today based on the length. [/QUOTE]
