Minn Kota MKR-27 DC Circuit Breaker 60A wiring diagram
60 A manual-reset DC circuit breaker for Minn Kota motors on 12, 24, 36 or 48 V systems. Connect BAT LINE to battery positive and AUX LOAD to the motor. Push-to-trip also opens the supply; Crimp does not simulate automatic trip timing. The manufacturer manual does not publish DC interrupt capacity or an absolute maximum operating voltage.

Which breaker is this?
The Minn Kota MKR-27, item 1865115 is a 60 A marine DC circuit breaker with manual reset and a push-to-trip button. The manufacturer lists compatibility with 12, 24, 36 and 48 V trolling-motor systems, IP67 protection and ignition protection.
How is it connected?
Connect battery positive to BAT LINE and motor positive to AUX LOAD. The negative motor lead returns directly to battery negative. Mount near the battery and follow the motor's wire-size table. The manual specifies 50 in-lb (5.6 N·m) terminal-nut torque.
What does Crimp check?
Crimp treats this as a circuit breaker and checks the 60 A rating against conductor capacity. On closes its contacts; Off and Tripped open them. Trip timing is not simulated. The reviewed manual does not publish DC interrupt capacity or an absolute maximum operating voltage, so fault-current suitability remains unverified. Nominal 48 V compatibility does not supply either missing rating.
