Homebuilt ROVs Forum

I would put the fuse at the power source and then on any sensitive electronics. It's also not a good idea to put a fuse on a ground lead, that can be dangerous. I'd also wouldn't be surprised if your bilge pumps draw more than what they're rated for. Remember you replaced the centrifugal spin wheel with a prop, so there's a lot more load on that motor now than what the manufacturer designed it for.

the 2.5a rating was for the bilge pump. with a prop on it will draw a lot more. I have a 15a fuse for 3 thrusters. they peak about 12a when running.

definately put the fuse on the positive wire as close to the power source as possible.

Thanks for the fuse information. Once again this forum is probably saving me a lot of heart break.

All of you guys are the best. I hope I can return the favor soon concerning lighting.

One step at a time. $$ I just ordered the props that I need. I am so excited. As soon as they arrive, I will start vertical dive testing with frame design. WO HO.
