[Steve135]

Hi, I used the search to look for this but came up empty. Does anyone know what the amps are on the starter motor for this engine? Its a 1984 70hp Evinrude.I am moving my batteries fwd to the console the distance is 11 ft from battery switch to the starter.What size wire could I get away with and be safe?<br />steve
