Absolutely!!! You want a switch rated for at least the maximum amps you will draw. In most cases that is at LEAST 50A, since that is what the CB is usually set for. If you have an inverter or other draws, account for those as well. In my case I have an inverter installed so I went with a Blue Sea disconnect switch rated for 300+A continous. Inverter can draw 200A.
