hitthebricks Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 The two wires that run from the batterys to the outlet at front of the boat are 8 ga. and the jumper wire that goes from battery to battery is 12 ga. Is that wire to light or is it alright because it is a short wire.Thanks HTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moderation Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 From battery to battery is 12 volts. From each battery to the plug is 24 volts. You should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverrat56 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Voltage has nothing to do with wire sizing other than larger wires will reduce voltage drop due to having less resistance. There likely won't be an issue with this set up, although having larger sized wire is never a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
