I called Susuki and then told me to use 2 gauge. I am sure they are just playing it super safe but my estimated cost for 2 gauge is about $60 so might as well do what the MFG says. Thanks everyone for the help.

Thanks, I wish I had enough electrical knowledge to use those charts. I have a Susuki 9.9 4 stroke I sure if I give them a call they can advise me.

what gauge? 2 or 4?

Can anyone give me a link for 20 feet of right battery cable? Looking on line and not sure which is best and it's too expensive to get wrong.

But then I can't reach the beer while driving!

IN the back of my 14 foot alum craft v-hull I have the outboard motor, the gas tank, two batteries, and me. Even with an adult in the front I am riding uncomfortably low. When I have to reverse water starts rolling in. So I am thinking I should move my two batteries to the front. It's the...

Thanks for the feedback. I mounted it this way because I thought it would be more attractive and less of a trip hazard. But the 6 bolt and the hole negate that. I'm gonna put it on top.

Mounting my stowaway seat and I was curious if it mattered if I bolted it to the top of the deck to the the bottom of the deck. Here is how I did it. But I can easily change it.

]Stopped raining long enough for me to finish… mostly.

After endless questions this thanksgiving weekend I began my first conversion. I was so close to being done when on SUnday it began raining!. Switch panel will control pump and night fishing lights. Perko to two batteries. Trollnn motor will mount on bow. So here goes. Stay tuned...

Well that brings up another question: Battery Boxes. Are they necessary?

When my Perko switch was originally installed they put it under my seat. I am thinking of moving it to the deck. This way I would be less likily forget to move it to the OFF position at the end of the day. It would definitely get hit with water.. but I assume it is designed for that. ANy...

I want to setup a quick disconnect for the electrical feed to my trolling motor. It is using 8 AWG wire, I found this on amazon: 8 GA 12" QUICK DISCONNECT POLARIZED INLINE POWER CABLE WIRE HARNESS https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O58UWTM?psc=1 Opinion please.

I guess I should be more specific. I have ZERO experience and would like recommendations on style, size, MFG, etc. What would be the best fit for my boat. Any knowledge on the binimi topic anyone care to share. Knowledge is Power!
