Question. There's a gazillion threads in internet land about this (wiring a 24v system). But the more I read, the more confused I get.

Soooo, my boat is currently (no pun intended) wired with 8ga. Wire from the batteries to female recepticle. There is a round trip of about 10' total as the batteries are up front in my boat, and close to the motor. Would 8ga. Be okay here, and if so, would a 60 amp circuit breaker still work, or would I have to go lower to a 50 amp breaker?

I'm not opposed to desiring with 6/60, but if there's no need to, why do it?
