What circuit breaker/disconnect are you using in your engine compartment?

[SemperParatus]

I am looking for a circuit breaker/disconnect similar to what Michael is using on his rig. I'm also looking for a wiring schematic showing the distribution to accessories. Single or dual battery solutions.
Thanks!

I'm not sure what setup Michael is running, but I have a circuit breaker as close to my positive battery post as possible. This feeds all of my add on accessories. The first breaker I used was a no-name 100A breaker that failed after a year or two, I replaced it with a Buss 285100 which has had no issues.

Thanks for the info!
Good choice in battery! Northstar is expensive but worth every penny!

I run the general Buss circuit breaker in whatever your amperage flavor is to a generic marine fuse panel and divide from there. Throw a battery isolator in line before the breaker and add your second battery, super simple fairly bulletproof setup.
