[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 145253, member: 55"] Excellent quality wire too. Free shipping and good customer service. I've always been real pleased with them, and won't get marine wire anywhere else. Click the link for the technical calculator on the top of their page. Plug in the amp draw of the trolling motor, run length, voltage and a wire size, and see what the % percent voltage drop is. If the drop is over 3%, try a larger size. The goal is to get the voltage drop below 3%, and that calculator takes out either the guesswork, or the pen and paper work calculating Ohm's law, depending on what kind of person you are. :lol: [/QUOTE]
