[QUOTE="YamahaC40Guy, post: 83392, member: 953"] Photos will follow soon, I promise! Long story short, the distance from the battery to the female receptacle will be approx. 15' when the dust settles. If memory serves, I THINK the guy said that 10g would be a sure thing if the batteries were closer, but better to go 8g considering the distance. Re: marine grade/non-marine grade...I've been bugging as many people as I can with this question, and have had the following responses; 1."run whichever you want, they'll both need replacing in 5-6 years" 2."marine if you're crimping, standard will do if you're soldering" 3."standard is fine, it's easy/cheap to replace if required" 4."marine if you're burying the wires where they'll be impossible to get at" So yeah...I'm confused! Thanks for the input so far BTW, and please...keep it coming!!!! [/QUOTE]
