I need to extend my new Terrova (55lb) wire leads to the battery. The Minn Kota chart indicates which gauge wire to use for the extensions. I'm going to use 6 gauge wire because I have it. The directions indicate that the extension is from the wire leads to the battery, so can I confirm that I can just splice the 6 gauge wire to the factory leads? Thanks.

Hi, Friends. My father and I bought a Tracker Pro Guide V-16 last year. This year we are upgrading the electronics, so we opted for a Humminbird Helix 7 and Minn Kota Terrova. I'll be installing this week. The next step is to think about a Talon, but I'm wondering where to mount it on this transom? The primary use of the boat is to fish; however, my wife and kids like to come out for frequent family days when we pull a tube, etc. For that reason, I'd like to keep the tow hooks clear in the back because I use a 2-point tow harness. I have no problem chasing the wires and making the connections, I'm just hoping for some solid advice on where to mount -- or if it's even worth it on this boat. (Yes, we do fish a lot of perimeter contours @ 6' or less.) Thanks!
