Location: With my son on the water		The size wire you need is determined by the max amps your motor draws and length between the motor and the batteries. Every situation is a bit different. There are lots of charts on line but I would not guess. You should always round up and go one size heavier if you have a question. Too small of wire will cause problems but too heavy will not. On my rig the chart told me I needed 4 gage.

I would also seriously consider soldering all the connections and make sure you use marine grade wire.

I would also agree to add a 2 bank charger.
