[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 431345, member: 13975"] You need 4awg. The length of the run is the total length of the wire, both positive and negative. It's thicker and more expensive but the plus is that since you have a 12V 50 lbs thrust motor, virtually any motor you may replace it with in the future will be good to go. 55 lbs thrust is about the biggest 12V motor I have heard of and if you ever go to a 24V one, your amps will be approximately less than or equal to your current motor unless you put a 100lbs thrust or bigger one on (which would be a beast on a 14' jon lol).
