[QUOTE="C_Heath, post: 413999, member: 18964"] Im in the infant stages of a new build. I will be mounting two 55 lb thrust minn kotas on the rear and a 55 bow mount on a Alumnacraft 14/42 and will be doing decking as well. I plan on running the transom motors to 2 batteries wired parallel and 2 to the bow mount parallel also. For an on board charger, I was to use the NOCO genius 4 bank to make things easier. If the budget allows, I also want to do 2 bigfoot switches up front so I wont have to be going back and fourth. My lake is small, 140 acres and its electric only and 14ft max. Ive seen 3 or 4 of these builds and they look good and are stable. I know stable is relevant but Im going to give it a go. I spent alot of time looking for a minimum of a 48" bottom boat and the 14/52's are super hard to find but the 48's jump in price so much, even used. I ran accross this 14/42 a mile from the house and cheap so I went with it. It will be a fall project as I already fish from a current boat that is up and ready. [b]Back to my title What guage wire would be best to do the batteries in parallel running to all the motors and bigfoot switches? Also, can someone recommend a fuse box or junction so I wont melt it and sink! lol[/b] Ill be sure to make a build thread as well. Thanks guys! [/QUOTE]
