What size fuse??

[Rick_1971]

I have been working on redoing some things on my jon boat. I have installed a fuse block that will run my bow mount trolling motor and a few accessories. I am thinking that a 50 amp is what is needed for the trolling motor, it is a 40 lb thrust. On the accessory side, it runs 1 wire to back of boat to operate the bilge pump in rear, bilge pump/ airator in live well and front and rear lights. What would be the size fuse to use for that wire? Thanks in advance.

you fuse to the wire size So the fuse blows before the wire burns up...
then each piece of equipment should have an in line fuse that that piece calls for.

All the wiring for the acc. were in the boat when I got it last year, so I dont know what size fuses everything calls for.

I would advise doing a little research to see what size fuse your lights, bilge/live well pumps take search up the manufacturer of the pumps
the fuse size differs depending on the pump size.
What gauge wire is run from your fuse block forward?
there is a site someone posted here that gives fuse size for the wire gauge Do a search and you can find it

Good luck
