6 gauge wire, is pretty stiff, what is the best way to tie that tough of wire into my plug. My plug reciever has wire leads coming off of it. Will wire nuts or something hold that tough and large wire?

I went with the 55 volt All terrain. Now I want to run new wiring because I fear the existing wire is too small.

I am covering about 20 feet from the battery to the plug. It’s a 12 v 55 lb thrust trolling motor. What guage wire should I run? Do you typically run any in-line fuses? if so, the cheapies that i’ve seen have real small wire running to the fuse. DO I even need this if I run the proper guage wire to keep it from heating up? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

So here’s the dilema then, I want to go with a larger maxxum, which would require 24V. However, I have no room for another battery. The two that are back there take up every bit of space. Looks like I will be forced to stick with a 12V system if I shouldn’t run off my starting battery as well. So, what’s the biggest, best 12 V system out there? And how quick is it going to drain my battery?

thanks

Thanks for the info guys. Does anyone know what rpm’s I should be running with my motor? The guy that I bought the boat from had to rebuild the motor and I want to make sure i’m not doing it any harm. thanks

Thanks for the info Bait Caster. I was afraid that I might need to upgrade my trolling motor.

Does anyone have any idea of what size trolling motor I might need? The boat is a Dynatrak 162, 16ft bass boat. The thruster that is on it now just doesn’t seem to be enough. I’m a poor college kid, can’t afford much!

I just bought a boat and cannot afford much after paying for school, so what does a system like this cost? Is there any cheaper models out there that do the job? Any help you could give me would be great. thanks
