Location: With my son on the water | I can understand why you are asking this. I just bought a Terrova and the wiring diagram is not very good. The literature mentions a breaker but doesn't show where to put in the diagram.
So to answer you question and confirm I am doing it correctly.
1. You always want to be using at least 6 gage wire, heavier is better.
2. You want a 60 amp breaker for a 24 volt trolling motor. (I have been told to put this on the positive wire, not sure about that?)
3. The other thing that will increase battery life is to put a disconnect switch on the wire between the + & - that connects each battery and turn it off when the system is being charged or not in use.
VMS if you are reading this can you confirm this is correct.
Thanks and have a good day.
