[QUOTE="russ010, post: 178664, member: 677"] If you're going to leave your boat out in the weather without any cover, I would suggest using tinned wire... https://shop.genuinedealz.com/Marine%20Grade%20Wire/Marine%20Battery%20Cable/4%20AWG%20Battery%20Cable%20UL/ is where I buy all of my wiring from, and I also use 4ga (especially if you want to do a long run of 12'). You can use jumper cables, and people do it - but if I'm using a $500 trolling motor, I don't want to use $20 jumper cables to carry the power. So if you need 24' total of wire (works out to about $50), why not spend a little more and get what you really need that will last you a lot longer and use the type of cable that's made for it?
