Thread: Wire

Yep, 6 is better than 12. I burn fuse housings at speed 4. I need to upgrade.

#12 AWG is only rated for 20 amps. #6 AWG is good for 70 amps. Minn Kota 80 lbs thrust draws 60 amps @ 24 volts. That's what size breaker you need. It should be installed at the source. (battery).

And that's our electrical lesson for the day!!!!!! Lol

It's SJO fine strand. I striped it out of a 4 conductor SJ Cord. I have 2- 25' pieces left in green and white if anyone needs it.

Good info there and looks like you are on the way to having your crappie sled well rigged out.
