6 gauge. If you will start doing things right the first time, you may stop having to do them over. Just saying.

I doubt it, but he'll never test the theory so we will never know for sure.

Did you get tinned wire?

I bought what Art told me to buy. He's the local TM repair guy.

BTW, I asked him about getting 6 gauge and he said there was no need to get any. He knows I take it out in the salt water a time or to a year as well. He said to Sauder the connectors not shrinkwrap them

U are running less than 18', 8 will be fine. 6 would be better though. Slather in dielectric grease.

Your supposed to solder them and then shrink wrap them.......I add a extra step though.....I solder , apply liquid tape....then I heat shrink.......makes a good sealed connection.

The best wire I have found is the small welding lead. The real limber stuff with a whole lotta strands to it. Course I got a good friend who is welder so its not that hard for me to find lol.

Make sure you use rasin core or led with rasin and a very hot gun. It has to be hotter than the wire will get.
