    Default Electrical question


    I'm moving the trolling battery's from the front to the back of my 20 foot pontoon. It's 12 volt now but hope to change to 24 volt eventually. What gauge wire should I use?

    It's only like a 60 lb thrust but plan on going bigger one day.

    Go with the 6 gauge. Because I said so that's why.

    A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.

    6 Gauge Marine Tinned Copper - did it right once and you won't have to do it twice
