[QUOTE="Riverdog, post: 468433, member: 16557"] It's frowned upon, but that's what I did. I needed to extend my cables and just spliced them in. If you do it, just make sure you seal the splice with some good adhesive lined shrink tubing. Don't forget to put a breaker/fuse close to the battery It's worked well since 2013. The cables do get a little warm at full power for extended run time. It's a motoguide varimax 55lb. Just to be clear, I do not disagree with anything said above. I do plan to replace the cables with some new marine grade wire that I have already bought. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. [/QUOTE]
