[QUOTE="FormerParatrooper, post: 432460, member: 21034"] I am looking at the service manual for an 1974 Evinrude 25Hp Model 25452M. The manual states that the "Starter amperage draw when cranking " is 120 amperes. This is a 12v system. I am not an electrician, so my questions: There is a 6 ga battery cable installed, and it does not reach where the battery is on my boat. I would need to extend it to a total length of 14 feet to reach the battery and have about 10% slack in the line. Would I change the wire to 4 ga for the length of the run? What size fuse would I use? [/QUOTE]
