[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 381160, member: 337"] I’m pretty shocked at everyone’s level of concern. I’ve never heard of something like a livewell pump getting wires hot enough to melt or start a fire. Main wiring of engine, yes… but a circ pump? Manufacturers usually have very conservative tolerances on fusing. Going from 5 to 10 amp for a few trips end of season wouldn’t worry me one bit, but I’d have my spare with me for replacement if it dies. I put easy disconnects in my pump wiring because it was a PITA to recrimp the new pump housing (with replaceable motor so all one has to do is plug/play).

Of course the replacement hasn’t failed since. Figures. [/QUOTE]
