[QUOTE="jesus, post: 207931, member: 6229"] When I bought my boat I wasn't aware I would end up with a motor that was equiped of an electric starter... so my original cabling was a gage 14 over 16 feet... didn't work... I doubled the wires with a gage 12 cable, and it works... slowly. 1 12 gage and a 14 together might be equivalent of a gage 10 or 8 and I assure you all, it is not enough! So go for 4 or 6 minimum! And I only own a johnson 9.9... imagine with big engines.. :shock: [/QUOTE]
