That should be very common at any auto parts store or Mills Fleet Farm. I found on Amazon also.

Fuse or fuse holder?

Amazon fuse holder

Look at the car audio inline amp fuse and holders. They have worked great for me.

Thank You Gentleman,

Francis K, Right idea on the fuse holder but fuses are too big looking at the fuses that Lund uses in there panel they are bit smaller Like a auto.
Tuma, I will take a look at these and will research them.

Thanks again

What Tuma said. I have dozens of them from misc. car audio ventures, too bad you aren’t near the South Metro…I’ve got a bunch of different styles from 30 to 250amp.

I like circuit breakers over in line. Something about wiring directly to a terminal seems more safe. Cost more is thing though. Either way be sure to hook up close to the battery.

WeFish, are you sure you’re looking for the right product? I don’t think I’ve ever seen Lund put the trolling motor fuse in a panel, it’s usually a breaker in the TM battery compartment.
Also, 30 amp is pretty small for a trolling motor. How did you arrive at that amp rating?

We need to know what trolling motor your using. Most Terrovas etc recommend 60 amp breaker. Also how many feet of wire to the trolling motor plug in? Minnkota has a chart most of their motors require 50 to 60 amp breakers and 6 ga wiring if wire exceeds 20 ft from battery to termination/plugin. the document on Minnkotas site is called condutor-gauge-and-circuit-table_9-11-14.pdf. A boat dealer mounted my first terrova with 8 ga 30 amp inline fuse and it blew continuously and wires were hot. I then read the manual and changed to 6 ga and minnkota brand 60 amp breaker and never tripped it in the 4 years I ran it. On my current boat I had them rig 6 ga and 60 amp breaker and it has never tripped going 6 years of use. if you have 16 to 18 foot boat and batteries in the back you are really close or over 20 ft of wire due to routing of wires around things etc.
