Nautique - circuit breaker amperage

Hi, does anybody know what amperage causes the circuit breakers on a Nautique to switch? I am planning on running a ballast puppy from one breaker and if I can get away with not using relays then it makes my life a little easier. Cheers,

Which breaker are you planning to use? What model of nautique? What engine??

I think the breakers on my super sport's GT-40 are 60, 15, and 12.5amps.

You're better off just buying a new breaker and wiring the pumps through that IMO.

Use relays and fuses. Do not grab power from the dash area, as it is not set up to handle any extra load (Gauges start doing funny things). Instead get power directly from the battery or engine.

The more amperage and voltage available to the pumps the faster it will drain and fill.
