I honestly don't remember as they have been installed for over 2 years now. But remember, breakers and fuse are sized for the wiring used. Wiring used is sized for the load that it is running. So I used 10 gauge wire so I am going to assume my breaker would be a 30amp breaker. Its been so long i forget what I used for wiring and breaker but I can check next time I am at the boat.

I would go with the Lumishore SMX52. I've never had good luck with the sea blaze. I always seem to get water in them and short out. I've never had any problem with the lumishore surface mount products. The 52 has Great light dispersion is dead simple to wire in. The hole in the transom is very small. You can use a proxy resin in the hole thru the hull to seal the core along with a healthy dose of marine sealant. I'm not sure if I would use 5200 in case you ever have to remove one. Maybe a sealant in the 4000 range. If you go with the SMX52s or any SMX light make sure you buy one master light. Any additional lights should be slave configuration.

One more thing The factory website has a configuration tool where you can see what your boat will look like with the different strength lights installed.
