Replace the wire. You want 6 gage tinned wire. It looks like you need less than 10', so it should cost about $30.
I buy from this place. http://www.genuinedealz.com/6-awg-custom-battery-cables

You also need a 60 amp circuit breaker.


^^^ This is very good advice. I agree. Just put in new wire--for the amount it will cost you, you'll hardly notice the pain...especially once you have to buy the new trolling motor. That way your system will be entirely new, and completely safe. And you won't have to chase down bugaboos next year, when you'd rather be fishing.

EDIT: And don't forget to install a couple of battery trays, to secure the batteries in place. Or even battery boxes (if you have the vertical room in that compartment), so you can cover the terminals for safety.
