[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 361590, member: 7076"] Unless your future growth includes a trolling motor or a microwave oven off of your T-top, 80A is overkill. I would save some money, go with a 10ga wire and a 30A breaker, it will be more than enough to run whatever you need. Looking at your list of current accessories above, I figure your total is no worse than 30a assuming you give each of the "misc" items 5A. 5A is generous for most accessories and the likelihood of all of them pulling max power at once is very unlikely. If you really want to be conservative, you could use 8ga with a 40A and be very comfortable. It will probably run you less than 1/3 of what the 4ga will cost you. My $0.02. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
