Ok... i just bought my 55 lb minn kota traxxis. Next week il be buying a battery for it. I already picked up the minn kota circuit breaker for it, so this means il need an extra wire connection from the battery(+) to the circuit breaker. I read the manual and Minn Kota suggests to use 6 gauge wire. I went to all my local auto and tractor supply stores, and they sell wires with battery connectors that would work perfect, but they only sell it in 4 gauge.
Is it ok to go with a larger gauge such as a 4?
Another question, Im considering buying two batteries. Now, can i hook them up like in a 24V system into my 55lb 12V trolling motor? Like, hook up both batteries together and into the motor so i dont have to switch batteries everytime one dies?
