[QUOTE="eardrum, post: 468408, member: 25065"] Just joined the forum. Hello! Fairly new to owning a boat and I've already found answers to several questions here. The question now is about hot cables so this looks like a good place to start. Got a hand-me-down Trolling Motor from a friend. Took it out yesterday for a check out and the head AND cables get hot running at speed 5 (Minn Kota 55 Vector). These are the factory cables directly connected to a new battery. The head of the TM gets hot also. I would expect warm but it's somewhere close to too hot. Is this normal? Note: I was running on slower speeds most of the time and around 20 minutes at 5. [/QUOTE]
