Overview

The Garmin 010-13307-10 is a 40A circuit breaker used when installing a compatible Force trolling motor.

It belongs in the main power feed and is typically installed in-line on the positive lead between the battery and the trolling motor. That placement helps protect the full cable run up to the motor if a short or sustained overload occurs.

Before ordering, confirm that a 40A breaker is the correct rating for your specific Force setup, since trolling motor models and battery configurations can call for different circuit protection values.

Key features

• 40A circuit protection intended for compatible Force trolling motor installations.
• Inline placement on the positive battery lead helps keep the trolling motor feed protected.
• Helps reduce the risk of heat and wiring damage caused by short circuits or extended overcurrent in the trolling motor power run.
• When mounted close to the battery, it is easier to inspect connections and service the trolling motor circuit.

Installation and setup

Install the breaker on the positive conductor as close to the trolling motor battery as practical, then route the protected cable run toward the bow. Pick a spot that stays dry in normal use and can be reached without removing half the boat interior.

Use appropriately sized ring terminals and secure the wiring so the terminals are not supporting cable weight or vibration. After the first few trips, re-check fasteners and cable support since new rigging can settle in.

Compatibility and fit

This breaker is intended for Force trolling motor installations that specify 40A circuit protection. Verify the recommended breaker rating for your motor model and battery voltage before installation.

It is used in the high-current trolling motor power circuit, not on NMEA 2000 or other electronics networking.

Use cases on board

This is a good match for anglers wiring a bow-mounted Force trolling motor on a bass boat, bay boat, or multi-species rig where the motor batteries are forward or in a center compartment. It also fits setups where you want the circuit protection in a place you can check quickly during troubleshooting.

Maintenance and care

Periodically inspect the terminals for tightness and signs of corrosion, especially after rough-water runs or frequent trailering. If the breaker opens repeatedly, treat it as a sign of an underlying wiring or load problem and inspect the power cable, connectors, and motor before restoring power.
