[QUOTE="ccm, post: 343205, member: 13447"] As far as a plug and receptacle go, use MARINCO the one for 12/24 volt trolling motors. Heavy duty connections that will outlast the life of your trolling motor. With the wire go with 6 or 8 gauge. 8 if your batteries are close to your motor. 6 if your batteries are at the back of your boat. Get a manual reset circuit breaker it can be inline or set on one of the battery terminals; they all last about the same get what you can find/most reasonable price I went with SEACHOICE 50 amp manual reset circuit breaker and paid $11. In the area of deep cycle batteries get the best quality that you can afford. Generally in the area of lead acid batteries the heavier batteries are the better(more plates) so if their are two brands, same price, same size, I would go with whichever is heavier. I hope this helps you in making your decision on hardware. [/QUOTE]
