Hi Everyone,
I've been working on restoring my boat and I decided to relocate the battery to the middle of the boat for better weight distribution. I put a larger engine on last year and with the added weight, gas tank and battery in the rear it made the boat porpoise badly. The engine is a 40 horse Mercury Outboard and the new cables will be about 8ft in length. Is 4 gauge adequate? Thanks for the advice.
