What size circuit breaker should be installed.  It is not indicated on the drawings that came with the nose lift kit.
Thanks

I looked all over my setup and don't see a breaker.....?  Nor is one shown in the schematic.  They do say to use a switch rated to at least 15 amps.

15A seems like overkill.  Since I have recieved no other response, I will measure the current draw under load then add some pad.

Why not ask Steve?  Or the supplier?  You shouldn't have to experiment with this, it's a proven system.

With all of the systems installed, I am surprised no one can tell me what size circuit breaker they installed ???

Is there a label on the electric motor?   You can calculate the amperage from
that, at least close enough to use a breaker with adequate allowance for a
slight amperage over the expected.
