Running Battery Cables from Bow to Stern
Boat: 2005 BAY 190
Issue: 36 volt trolling motor mounted on engine cavitation plate. Battery compartment for the three required batteries is in the bow. How can I run the battery cables from the stern to the bow? Where can I purchase tinned cables long enough to complete the run? Any answers out there? Chris

Going to hurt the wallet
Shop around the internet.
West Marine sells tinned cable, but, you will pay top dollar.

Try this: Cabela's -- Marine-Grade Wire= I used the 6 guage wire for my 24 volt trolling motor. You can pick up the battery terminal connectors at Boater's World. Ancor Ancor Battery Lugs - BoatersWorld.com Add some shrink wrap: Ancor 3/4'' Black/Red Heat Shrink - 326202 - BoatersWorld.com Here's a pic from my photos in the photo gallery: Message - Triumph Boat Owners - Photo Gallery Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck.

Battery Cable
Assuming a .5 amp draw per pound of thrust, and a circuit length of 40 ft (from battery + to motor to battery -), you would need a minimum of 4 AWG wire. I can sell you the wire for 1.50/foot plus terminals & shipping, If you would like, I can crimp the terminals on before I ship you the wire. Let me know if you think you want to tackle the project yourself.
