volzfan59 Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 As I've mentioned before, I've started a rewiring and updating project on my 16' X 55" river fishing rig. I've moved the T/M battery just forward of mid-ship. All the videos I've watched on installing a 60 amp breaker suggested installing the breaker in the same compartment as the t/m battery. Is that an absolute? I can do it, but it will be really tight. I'm thinking about installing the breaker closer to the t/m. Will this be an issue? Quote
Super User Log Catcher Posted October 13, 2021 Super User Posted October 13, 2021 I would put it close to the battery if possible. It will give all the wiring and trolling motor protection in case anything shorted out. 1 Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted October 14, 2021 Super User Posted October 14, 2021 As close to the battery as is possible is much preferred. Like in home circuits - are the breakers near the appliances/outlets or are they at the source (where it enters the home). 1 Quote
