I have a Minn Kota Rip Tide 55# thrust TM. Any recommendations on size of the fuse I should put inline? Also, is there a recommended distance from the battery that you would recommend. Also, can I put a plug that matched the TM plug on my charger and charge my battery by inserting this plug into the TM plug that goes back to the battery?
 
I can't recall exactly, but I bought a automatic reset car fuse at the auto parts store which I believe was a 30 amp model. I mounted it inside of the battery box on the wire going to the charging circuit of the tiller control motor. My trolling motor and the outboard charging wire are on the same bus bar on the transom.

I used 8 gauge wire from the battery to the transom (battery mounted mid ship) only because the 6 gauge wire was sold out! It works alright for me.
