[QUOTE="ol sarge, post: 350805, member: 7670"] I was skeptical about removing the factory ends of my 55lbs minn kota but I had to move the battery up front on my 14 ft tin to help with weight displacement. After looking around and finding the requirements for a 16 ft run (wanted extra lenght just in case) I took the motor over to the local marine guy and he hooked me up with the proper cable( i beleive it was either 6 or 8 gauge) the proper plugs and sodered everything together and it is not coming apart. He does the rigging for all of the new boats and did a great job and I have had no issues what so ever with this rig. I think it took him about 45 minutes and I payed 75 bucks which when you look at what that guage wire runs, plus the trolling motor plugs and battery connectors, I think I got a pretty good deal. Could I have done it myself? Sure, but when you are dealing with large gauge wire and an expensive tm, I felt better leaving it to the professional. [/QUOTE]
