    Default 24 Volt system battery Location


    I found a 24 volt Ipilot for a reasonable price so I bought it to put on my Modified V Jon Boat. I have room up front for one battery so I was going to install one up front and one in the back? Being seperated like that, will that cause a voltage drop/imbalance? What size cable should I use to connect them?

    Use the heaviest wire size possible. Any voltage drop reduces motor performance.
