I was wondering if I can extend my trolling motor cables just by using a 10 guage jumper cable? It will only need to go roughly 6 feet and the it's 70lb 24v trolling motor.

10 gauge wire is pretty small for TM useage. Most recomend 6, my boat was prewired with 8, and I have had no issues going from a 45lb 12V motor to a 70lb 24V motor, but I am pulling around a smaller, lighter weight aluminum bass boat. I guess what I am saying is, I wouldn't use 10 gauge wire.

You will get 0.6V drop using 10 guage wires over that distance.

Your trolling motor power cord is probably 10 guage.

Bascially you will be OK

Longer runs should have larger conductors to minimize voltage drop.

Thanks guys!
