[QUOTE="InSaneFisherMan, post: 503947, member: 26281"] With th Really need to compare center conductor for guage size, the insulation material could be thicker on one cable verus the other. Just my opinion: With the total lenght 6', I would put 4 guage on everything in the starting wire path both - & +. I would put a 30a or 20a breaker at battery switch (not sure about bilge pump), but everything else probably uses less than 15a. 6 guage wire from breaker to fuse panel both - & + (total length of 20') would support up to 40a. Not that fimillar with dual purpose battery, but it should work well. [/QUOTE]
