Wire for Minn Kota 40lb

[oddbudman]

I'm looking for a cheap source of wire to join my battery to my 40lb MK.

The run needs to be around 7m long of both Red and Black back to the battery. Any tips on the cheapest source would be appreciated. Looks like I need to be running at least 10mm2 - (42A Max current draw is the spec for this motor).


cheers,

go to Cheap Auto --- Use the same cable as the motor

don't forget to use tinned wire.

"don't forget to use tinned wire. "

Can I just use OFC and tin the ends with a soldering iron?

[finga64]

you can but it will not last as long.
also use the heat shrink with the resin in it.
If you want just straight copper I have some under the house but I think it's about 16mm and 25mm flexible . Better for the voltage drop.
Where are you at oddbudman??
