Hey guys. With a new trolling motor Arriving, its time to think about replacing my wiring. I would like to use 6 or 8 gauge, however, all of the plugs that I've found seem to have 10 gauge connections. Will having 6" 10 gauge connections negate the benefits of running 6 or 8 gauge wiring from the fuse block to the plug itself? Thanks!

    You did not say how big the trolling motor was but I would 6 gauge wire. A marine supply store will carry the size plug you need. I also saw them in the BPS.catalog.

    It is a 12v, 54 lb thrust.
