Electric trolling motor

[iggyw1]

Hi again guys,

Quick question this time I hope. I just purchased a Minn Kota Endura electric motor, 55 pound thrust stern mounted. It is brand new. I have it installed but I do not have a fuse on it as yet. (Did not use it yet and will not until I have it fused). I do not know what size fuse to put on it? Can I use the blade type in line fuse for it? I have no fuse blocks in my boat, but if needed, I can install one for my electronics. I did look on line to find out this info that I need, but had no luck. Some of the sites say 30 amp, some say 50 amp & some say 25 amp. Which is it? Thanks.

i would get the 50amp for a trolling motor. it connects on the battery

there are wiring instructions in the box.

will look like this from a random minn kota manual.

Inline fuse of the recomended rating on the cable to the battery.

OK. I got this taken care of and installed a 60 amp. breaker on the motor. Thank every one.

Removed this breaker from the electric motor that came with my boat. I bought a new motor and put the breaker on it in line to the battery.
