Hi,
We spoke last week about fuses on my boat, 125 amp for each battery. The starter motor draws 200 amps but only for a few seconds so these will be OK. It would seem much more sensible however, to fit circuit breakers. If in the event of a mega fuse blowing it would be a fag to change it, much easier to reset a breaker.
My question is to cope with the 200 amps of starter motor will a 100 amp or 150 amp circuit breaker be OK? I don't know at what time delay or current they actually trip?
Actually thinking about this why not a 200amp CB is this OK?
