Reply With QuoteI'd go with a circuit breaker. Uses the same size wire as the main feed. Much safer and a lot less likely to melt. Be safe and catch some fish.

Fuse holder for trolling motor
Got a replacement for the original fuse holder the wires are some bit smaller than the ones that are currently on the boat, the new one holds a 30 amp fuse. My question is will the smaller wires effect the trolling motor or will they melt over a period of time,or will it be ok to use the new one. Hope i made that clear enough for ya'll to understand what i am trying to say.

It is possible for them to melt the insulation. The use of a circuit breaker using same size wire is a good choice. Or find a fuse holder that has or can accept the same size wire you currently have.
This may be a little extreme but it fits the situation...think of the main reason old houses burnt down...under sized wiring for the loads (amp draw) they were carrying.

whatever you do, do NOT go with a smaller wire - I've seen some CRAZY things happen with a buddies TM, and you do not want to deal with this.
