c. Double-check the placement and marked location.
Set the Circuit Breaker aside, then use a Drill with a
Drill Bit appropriate for the selected mounting screws
to drill the two mounting holes on the marked location.
Apply a marine-grade silicone sealant in each of the
drilled holes if desired to create a waterproof seal.
d. Align the Circuit Breaker with the holes drilled in
the Mounting Location. Take the two screws and
place one each in the hole of the Circuit Breaker
and into the drilled holes. Secure the screws with a
Screwdriver. Hand tighten.

d. Make sure the mounting surface is level and clear to drill holes.
e. Ensure there is enough cabling to reach the battery, trolling motor, or the intended connections in the electrical system. Please follow the
“Conductor Gauge and Circuit Breaker Sizing Table” in the trolling motor Owner’s Manual if additional cabling needs to be added. Make
sure to use the proper gauge wire.
f.
Do not mount below the waterline of the boat or directly adjacent to fuel tanks.
g. Connecting the breaker in the correct direction is important. The breaker will have higher life when wired with the correct polarity.
1. BAT/LINE: Must be connected to the Battery Positive (+) of your battery or power source.
2. AUX/LOAD: Must be connected to the positive (+) side of your electrical system or trolling motor.
3. Battery negative (-) should be tied to the negative (-) side of your electrical system or trolling motor.
DANGER
Damaged cords and plugs can cause electric shock or electrocution.
CAUTION
Before making any connections to batteries in a confined space (such as a battery compartment of a boat), open the door or hatch of the
compartment and allow it to air out for 15 minutes. This allows any gases that have accumulated in the compartment to escape.
