In my continuing saga of setting up my boat I just mounted a 55 lbd (50 amp breaker) trolling motor to the bow.
As it’s a stick steer (and I’m a healthy boy) I plan to put the battery in the rear.
My question is it’s a 16’ boat so I figure about 15’ run. Is 8 gauge large enough? Or do I need 6, or even 4 gauge?
