Location: Stones throw away...finally!! | I'm going to be upgrading from a 74 to a 101 maxxum in the next couple of weeks and was wondering if I need to beef up the main cable going from the batteries to the motor? Didn't know how much more heat the 36v system would create compared to the 24v I currently have. Also, I know I have seen on here some diagrams of how to wire three battery systems, but I have a hard time with the search feature on here. Is this something the average wrench turner can accomplish in a weekend, or should I plan on taking it in to the shop? Any help would be great. |

Location: Kodiak, AK | Check the owner's manual. It'll specify the minimum guage wire required. We have no idea what guage wire you have in your boat now, so it's impossible to say if it's heavy enough. It could be speaker wire, or it could be 5/16" cable! lol
As far as the battery hook up, Google "battery series parallel" You'll get all kinds of diagrams and instruction.
And yes, a TM install is an afternoon and very straightforward. |
