Hi all,
We recently discussed putting circuit breakers on my boat next to each battery x 2. As the starter draws 200 amps we decided to put 2 x fuses or C. breakers for that amount.
However, we have also discussed this week that the engine has an element heater in the air intake, I have now sorted the switching for that but it draws 33 amps.
This means that during the start up process there could be 233 amps being drawn, so I suppose I should up the fuses or CB's to 250amps?
What do you think please?
