I bought a used boat and it has a plug to connect my trolling motor.
My trolling motor is a minn kota power drive V2 which use 8 gauge wire, but I saw that the wire connecting the battery to the socket is only 12 gauge. I know this can cause overheat but can it also decrease the performance of the engine?
I'm asking because my top speed is 2 mph with my 16 feet aluminium boat, which I find a bit slow.
Thank you
