We finally had a nice, sunny day so that means it's time to uncover the boat and install upgrades I planned over the winter! In today's video I do a complete how to walk-through on properly installing the electrical components on a 24 volt trolling motor setup with 6AWG wiring and a 60 Amp circuit breaker from Minn Kota.

My boat already came wired up, but with 40 Amp fuses and 12 gauge wiring - WAY under the specs recommended for a 24 volt setup and I was having issues with melted fuses and very hot wires. Time to upgrade!

PLEASE NOTE in the install I use bare copper connectors and have never had an issue with them, but it is recommended to use tin plated copper for your terminal connections and wiring, which I have linked to below.

Here's everything you need for this installation:
