[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 434141, member: 13975"] I'd use 4 ga tinned marine wire. That way it will last forever and if you ever replace that TM with one that draws higher amps (like a 12V 55lb thrust) the wiring will still be appropriate. As to location, that depends on your specific boat. For my boat, my single battery is in the front which balances well when underway with just me, however, the front end then sits lower than the rear when I'm working the TM off the bow. With another person it balances well at rest but then they cant sit too far forward or else I have to trim the motor up and I get a little wetter. [/QUOTE]
