As part of my weight reduction plan, can anyone give me a cable length to move battery to console. I am guessing 6' will work. I am not near the boat so can't measure my self.

Thanks.

I can't help you with that but you may need to increase the cables diameters due to the increased resistance of added length.

Thanks,

I am not sure what I have but from looking at an online chart it looks like 4 0 will work for 5-7'I

I may just go 2 0, but would love to know the length I need. I am having no luck finding a place to work on it where it sits so I may just trailer it home when I can so I can work on it when I have time and weather to do so.

For my Outrage 17 I went overkill and went 4 AWG. This is not the same as 4-0 which is HUGE.

I learned from others mistakes and did not splice into the 3' tail that comes with the motor. I ran a single duplex wire from the engine studs to the newly installed battery switch on the roof of the console cubby.

For my boat it was ~15' I recall.

I used a string to mimic the route and then measured.

I used these guys for the cable.

Thank you.
Wow 15' seems long. I am kinda committed at this point to towing the boat home at some point and working on it here to do the battery relocation and the foam project. It may be a while as the boat will have to be taken off the lift and put on the trailer before I can bring it home.

I thought it couldn't hurt to get the cables. I also forgot I need to install a new battery switch so I can add that to the list.

I was looking at genuinedealz.com for the cables, but will check your suggestions.

There are types of cable. Before changing relatively large gauge cable I would want to know how flexible it is as that varies. I like more flexibility.
