Hey Bones, Thanks for the information. Do you recall if the thermal overcurrent disconnects are per individual circuits or for the main power and therefore, shuts everything down? Also, how long does it take to cool down to reset? At first thought, it would seem more convenient to rework it to fuse or provide a circuit breaker for all discrete circuits.

I fuse the main battery positive connection. I seem to recall there is a auto reset thermal overcurrent disconnect glued to the back of the panel. These will trip on an overload and then reset after cooling. Bones _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
