What size wire should I use for a 24 volt trolling motor? I would think I should use something heavier than what I used for a 12 volt.Thanks  Jeff

8awg will do fine or 6awg is better just depends on how much you want to spend on wire but both will do a good job

Just picked up some 6 gauge to wire my 24V MG.

6g ......

6 gauge  got it..Thanks guys

I thought you could use lighter wire if you used a higher voltage.

Here is a link to help you figure it out.

Voltage has nothing to do with what size wire you use, only the type insulation on the wire.  The current load and length determines the size wire.  A 24V 50# thrust TM can use half the guage wire as a 12V 50# thrust because the 24V will pull half the current the same size 12V motor will.
