Does anyone know if the existing 8 AWG wire in my 17' Tracker is big enough for an Ulterra 24 volt 80 lb trolling motor?

The chart goes from 8 AWG at 15’ to 6 AWG at 20’. I figure I’ll be in between.Quote:

As long as you have a breaker just in case you should be fine !
Thanks for all the help. Got the Ulterra hooked up over the weekend and tried it out Sunday. Everything worked fine. I temporarily mounted the heading sensor by the console. Seems to work fine there. If I can figure out how to get the power back to the fuse block easily I may move it up front.
Did ya put a circuit breaker in?
Absolutely.Quote:

The new 3 bank charger and the Battery Tender plug is what was expensive.Quote:

Yeah me too. My 2 AGM series 31 Duracell batteries for my trolling motor are 4.5 years old and still going strong. Always keep them on charger between trips.Quote:
