You know, I just thought that a case may just make a deep cycle

the cables through the opening, having a strap to transport it. But I
would use the case even for the AGM.

I'll probably get extension cables and put the battery in the front,
or middle according to need. Don't know whether to get the circuit
breaker, which they recommend in the manual.

A case with a carry handle is a great idea.

Who's 'manual' recommends the circuit breaker? *As mentioned, the old
Minn Kotas were fused with a light bulb. *Overload it and the bulb blows..

What does your Minn Kota manual say about fusing?

You can get inline 50A fuses designed for large gauge wire like they use
in high end stereo systems. *If you blow the fuse, you paddle because
the motor is cooked.

I can't see where a breaker would have an advantage there. *Cooked motor
is a cooked motor. *A glass inline fuse is actually safer than a breaker
because it blows faster lessening the damage to the wiring.
