Trolling Motor Wire Length
Message:
Does anyone know if the length of my trolling motor wires(pos/neg) will matter? I want to put the battery in the front of my boat as you can't really fish from it and also to offset the weight in the back. Does anyone know if i will loose power? I would use thick wire.(like the stuff an amp in a car)

Hi,
I have my battery in the bow of my 14' boat (weight forward to balance boat) with wires running all the way aft to the trolling motor.
No loss in power what so ever!
You should not have a problem.
