[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 482454, member: 15636"] Did you ever compare what size cables to the trolling motors you are using - for their length - versus that which the trolling motor maker advises? Or even compare to that ampacity chart I posted? Otherwise I'm afraid I'm out of ideas, but yes, the barrel trick should suffice to load the motor. Not just for wiring, but sometimes people configure things where it [i]'all works when all is new'[/i], but then it may not have the sufficient overhead or capacity to function properly over time. I've even experienced this with manufacturing systems in a production environment, I use to say 'the design was operating on the hairy edge' between success or failure, everything had to be 'optimal' for it to work.
