 Be sure to order lug connectorsApr 23, 2012
By Glenn P. Miller
"GM"
Good product, fair price and easy to install, that is if one has the proper connectors. My 3 rating is not related to the product . It seems the manufacturer fails to give instructions as to the proper connector needed to complete the wire connections. I found out the hard way that standard off the shelf lug ring/eye terminal connectors will not work on this unit as the hole openings are too large and the outside of the connector will overlap between the lug post thus defeating the trip breaker. (See feedback on this site from Jeff) If you purchase this unit be sure to purchase a set of lug ring connectors that are designed to fit exactly over the 3/16" lug bolts and are sized for the wires you are using ( 6 or 8 awg wire). Ring/eye connectors in these sizes may be hard to find at your local hardware store, you may want to shop on line. Also the ring connectors in size 8 and larger require an expensive set of compression pliers to properly make connections.
A simpler alternative is to purchase a set copper mechanical lug connectors sized for 3/16" bolts and copper wire range of #6 -#14. Copper lugs are little bulkier but easy to install with a flat blade screwdriver.
The copper lug connectors I used are manufactured by "Ideal" part #770701L. These type connectors are available at most major home repair chains, your local electrical supplier or can be ordered on line. Do not use copper lug connectors on aluminum wire as they will corrode and fail over time.

 12V Battery Circuit BreakerApr 21, 2009
By John H. Jones
This product is very easy to install. Keep your equipment (trolling motor) from shortening out. Has a reset atop. Great product.
 50 Amp Motor Guide Circuit Breaker MM5870Apr 12, 2012
By Jeff
Since the wire gauge is 6 going from the trolling motor to the batteries, I find the
terminals on the breaker way too small to connect the ring lugs to it without the
lugs shorting to each other and therefore, circumventing the breaker. This breaker
is not made for this application....would work for way smaller gauge wiring or cable.

Works as plannedSep 28, 2011

Installed on my motorguide trolling motor line about 8 inchs off the battery. Factory on my 2005 boat they had a 30 amp inline fuse that kept blowing. Looked up on motorguide recomendations and they recommended this. Installed it and have had no problems since. Good investment.
