    This is sad 35 people have viewed this thread and not one had a point of view on which one they would choose.

    It's a matter of what you want. Do you want to manually reset the breaker or do you want it to auto reset? Your choice. One is not better then the other. If you are tripping the breaker no matter what style or type you need to do some investigating anyway.

    Auto reset by all means, but the draw back is it may take a few seconds to a minute for it to reset, I have seen the manuel rest breakres go bad because they get moisture in them and corrode and quit working.

    and if this was posted in the mechanics corner you may have had a faster response, not many people read the state boards for motor questions/ problems JMHO

    Or post it in the original thread you started about the fuse holder.

    You just posted in the thread "depth locator" that you just installed a circuit breaker on your trolling motor battery. Now you're on the net looking for a breaker. CONFUSING to say the least.
