[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 651787, member: 357"] definitely need a fuse mate, its rated and written on most bilge pumps. its more to do with low quality or non regulated batteries and batteries on the way out, a battery thats close to death might discharge at 14 volts causing a short which produces heat and will melt your good pump, an inline fuse protects the pump so its lasts fore years to come. its impossible to provide the correct fuse for everyone as bilges are mostly designed to be wired into a boat hull and often straight into a fuse block. If running a highbanker / cleanup sluice id use a sealed inline fuse like below mate they last the longest and keep water out. [/QUOTE]
