    **What Size Circuit Breaker**

    Redoing wiring for electronics and some other stuff on buddies boat.. He upgraded his TM year or so back from 24v to 36v.. I just noticed the circuit breaker he currently has is a 24V 20amp.. I am gonna be replacing it with a Blue Sea switchable style so he can cut power quickly if need be.. Just want to make sure I order right AMP.. From what I am seeing a 50 amp may be what is needed..

    What size is the wire in the boat?
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    Could be 50, could be 60 - depends on motor. If MK, see this for recommended breaker -> http://www.minnkotamotors.com/Suppor...ion---Rigging/
