50 amp breaker on the hot wire near the batteries, it needs to stay away from the saltwater. Once they start to corrode they wont hold the load.
can save you from a boat fire. |

i think you can splice and add the breaker in the jumper on a 24V system also, but just breaking the hot lead from the motor works on 12, 24, 36
I always carry a wire with alligator clips on both ends, just in case my breaker goes down I can bypass it and not waste fishing time. |

You want to put one on the battery for your outboard motor. I have one on mine. This will trip before it shorts out the items that run of your starting battery.
