I have always heard 50 amps was the correct size. Not where I can read my manual but if it states 46 then a 50 would be fine. 60 and 80 would both be to big.

agree with Judd, if they specify 46, then a 50 would be ok - 40 would probably work fine only just a little quicker to trip if you get hydrilla or line wrapped around the prop.
