Most trolling motors have 30-50amp fuses or breakers protecting them. Check with MinnKota for the right size for your motor. If you have 12 amp fuses, that would trip or blow a lot sooner than a larger size would-so you could argue that you had better protection than with a larger size fuse. Sounds like your confusing the 12/24 volts with a 12/24 amp fuse, not the same apple to apple situation. I have my doubts that your trolling motor would have worked before on a 12a fuse, any load and it would have blown. A 3 amp fuse is generally recomended for electronics, so think about that as a comparison. Fuses have a voltage rating also, but were talking about automotive size fuses here, not larger ac electrical components. I think minnkota sells different size breakers if you want to go that route.
