[QUOTE="PikeSlayer, post: 246840, member: 7720"] So using the AWG chart, I ended up getting 8 gage wire for my trolling motor extensions and the smallest I could find at my local hardware store was 14 gage for my lights which is probably overkill. My lights say to use a 1 amp fuse, but since I will be running both through the same switch and 14 gage wire can more than handle the current, I figured I'd put a single 2 amp before the switch? Does that make sense? Also, I don't know if this is the best place to post this or if I should repost somewhere else, but being that this is my first boat, what type of things should I do to my outboard before the spring thaw and its first run on the lake? Thanks guys! [/QUOTE]
