Wiring a trolling motor
Im wanting to keep my battery in the back of the boat and was wondering what gauge of wire to use? Also where's a good place to buy the wire at? I have a 46lbs thrust motor guide and the length from the battery to the plug is around 16'. Can i just run the wire under my floor?
Thanks

Re: Wiring a trolling motor
i'd go with 6ga to be on the safe side. check ebay for marine tinned duplex wire or something like that.
