I plan on hooking it up like the following diagram:
The front motor is roughly 6 feet from the batteries.
The back motor is roughly 10 feet from the batteries.
Will high quality 8 gauge wire be enough? I have some really good stuff we use to use on high end car audio installs, pure copper rope lay, Oil and heat resistant.
I know they specify 60 Amp breaker, but I already have the 100 amp breakers, and usually the breakers are there to protect from a dead short.

Building starting next spring so maybe next Sept? There's electric on site so I'll pull a camper out there next summer and live there. I'll shower at the gym, work or in the nearby lake 😆
There were some leaves changing when I was at the cabin a couple weeks ago. Headed back up on Monday, it'll be interesting to see how much more.
The ferns were also starting to get brown.
Livin’ the dream!
We had 45 in Little Falls when I woke up this morning. Been seeing leaves turn yellow for a couple weeks now. Just got done with a neighborhood walkabout and even some green leaves are letting loose and dropping.
Lakeshore was kind of out of my price range, less than desirable waterfront is 50k an acre minimum and nice lakeshore is 100k+ an acre. I got just under 7 acres up against state land out in the woods, building about a 1400 sq ft home and 24x36 garage. As maintenance free as possible, clover yard too. Can't be doing chores instead of pestering the walleye. I think we got frost last night

Running cables for both trolling motors.

Any problems with running this setup you see?
