Absolutely DO NOT wire ANYTHING to the battery without the properly-sized fuse (or other over-current protection device) in the line, as close to the battery as possible!!! Unless you want your boat to burn to the waterline someday. This is especially true of anything with a motor in it, like

Colin's right (as usual… :^). Also, if you go that route, some of he newer battery monitors will allow you measure just the voltage of the starting battery (in addition to all the functions for the house bank), which is all you really need for the start battery, as it rarely gets discharged m

Dwight -- a pump is sort of a special case. Yes, you need over-current protection in the form of a breaker or fuse as close to the power source as possible; but many pumps have unusual protection ratings, like in Pat's case 3 amps, or I've seen others like mine that require 7 amps. Good luck f

Mine works that way -- but it's connected through a fuse block that is then connected through a protected cable to the house battery positive bus bar (rather than connecting straight to the battery). It will work regardless of the house bank battery switch's state (On or Off). Fred Street -- M
