    Installing a fuse in cylinder

    When installing a fuse is it correct to install after power source before a remote on/off switch?

    some recommend adding a secondary fuse between the motor and esc to protect the motor should it get fouled by vegetation or stray fishing line.
    Make it simple, make strong, make it work!

      The correct placement of a fuse is as close to the power source as physically practical, on the “hot” or positive feed line.

      Place the fuse:
      • Within 2–4 inches of the battery terminal
      • Before the power distribution or ESC
      • Use an automotive blade fuse or inline waterproof holder

      This ensures minimal unprotected wire and maximum system safety.
