Location: Stevens Point, WI | I am guessing that you will need to upgrade both the wire and the fuse. You will need at a minimum 6ga wire from the receptacle to the batteries. If you have a run of wire more than 12 feet or so I would go with 4ga wire. I would suspect on your Crestliner it probably has 6ga already if it was factory wired. This is definatley something you want to do right. If the wire is too small for the current load and distance to the battery you have a high potential of a fire or your fuses/breakers tripping due to the heat and load. You will want a 60A breaker for the motor. I highly recommend the Minnkota MKR-19 Waterproof breakers that run 40.00. |
