[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 209417, member: 3438"] 6ga should be fine for the short run you probably need. 6ga is little difficult to work with, but if you want extra insurance, 4ga. A transom trolling motor doesn't have a fuse because the wire length is short and in view. The aligator clips also limit the amount of current and can be knocked free. Anytime you have hard connection, like ring terminals, and/or conceiled wiring, you want a fuse. It is mainly protection for a direct short. I doubt that you ever hit the max draw. I'd try one of the 50amp manual reset breakers. If you don't want to mess around, go for the MK 60amp, like what is posted in the picture above. [/QUOTE]
