For those of you running a battery under the front deck, are you using a remote terminal post in the back or are you running straight to the motor? I'm looking for a terminal I can use that looks safe and makes sense and can't find one. Let me know if any of you have something that works. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Like this? http://www.genuinedealz.com/blue-sea-sy ... inch-studs I have a battery up front in my little fishing boat. Works fine, use #2 wire to the back. |

Also could use a single post just like the one pictured for the ground and a battery switch for the positive. |

whats your reasoning? You will have to run a larger wire to not overheat. |

I just want the majority of weight up front. Big cable is not a problem. I'm actually most concerned with the battery being located near the tank, but will make sure there's nothing dangerous Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

^this. And make sure your battery connections are tightened with a wrench. Loose connection can sometimes spark. |

Do you know if I would have to run a separate cable for the ground wire all the way back as well? Or could I locally ground that remote terminal? Electricity can be perplexing sometimes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Run your hot and ground all the way to the back. |

Thank you! 3 bucks a foot on an 18 foot boat won't be cheap but will be worth it for getting on plane (I have a longtail) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

2 Ga will be more than enough. This is what I did with mine. You can find these on amazon and make hooking and unhooking accessories a breeze. Put a pair up front to hook your batteries, long cables, and accessories into it, and another pair astern to hook any other accessories (charger) and motor up. http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Systems- ... ystems+150 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |
