Ok, I'm pretty much done with the BoatHowTo Electric 101 class. Which is great. I recommend it for any novices. And I've read so many different people talking in general about fuses on house batteries and starter batteries. Almost all for other motors. I understand that you fuse for the wire. There is a back and forth on whether to fuse the starter battery...all that good stuff.
Here with the Atomic 4, everything I read according to Moyer and other sources we use a 4 gauge wire for our batteries. Which I have. Many people say their starting cranking amps is around 150 maybe up to 250.
Can people chime in on what you are doing with fusing for your house and cranking batteries? Specifically what amp fuse are you using, if any, and what gauge cable are you using?
I currently have two 27 group West Marine (800 MCA) house batteries and one 27 group "starter battery" (1050MCA). #4 Gauge wires. Nothing is fused and I'm looking at adding MRBF Terminal Fuses to all once I figure out what size fuse.
