We finally had a nice,
We finally had a nice, sunny day so that means it's time to uncover the boat and install upgrades I planned over the winter! In today's video I do a complete how to walk-through on properly installing the electrical components on a 24 volt trolling motor setup with 6AWG wiring and a 60 Amp circuit breaker from Minn Kota.
My boat already came wired up, but with 40 Amp fuses and 12 gauge wiring - WAY under the specs recommended for a 24 volt setup and I was having issues with melted fuses and very hot wires. Time to upgrade!
PLEASE NOTE in the install I use bare copper connectors and have never had an issue with them, but it is recommended to use tin plated copper for your terminal connections and wiring, which I have linked to below.
Here's everything you need for this installation:
1. Minn Kota 60 Amp Breaker: https://amzn.to/2JHvZU7
2. 18 feet of 6AWG Tin Coated Marine Cable Red and Black: https://amzn.to/3agNvvw
3. 2 Pack of 5/16" 6AWG Tin Coated Copper Battery Lugs: https://amzn.to/2OwWe4e
4. Black and Red Shrink Wrap Kit: https://amzn.to/2MZGt5o
5. Heat Gun: https://amzn.to/2MR6vYD
6. PROPER Wire Crimps Battery Terminal lugs: https://amzn.to/2LIPlLY
Recommended Battery Charger - ProMariner ProSport 3 Bank Charger: https://amzn.to/3qeS3b6
My Minn Kota Terrova trolling motor: https://amzn.to/2LHwVdI
