    Default Welp, that was a quick $90 OUCH


    8 gauge wire and connectors ain't cheap. I called and talked to Art and he said what most said, somethings up with the wiring. Guess we'll find out in the next day or so

    I would use 6 guage wire for your set up and also a 50 amp circuit breaker mounted close to the last battery in the system.

    Bigger is always better when it comes to wireing....I just looked in my MinnKota book as well and MK reccomends 6 guage on your set up and a 50 amp breaker. But yeh 8 will work.

    I like salt water LOL. wish they made a quick release for a TM that was a duel one. I have a 24 volt salt water motor Guide but it bolts on different than the Minn Kota. Be nice to just be able to switch em out real easy

    And quit washing it down with bleach.....bleach is very corrosive.....just as bad as salt.
