See full version: What gauge wire is on a trolling motor
Thread: How many amps does a 24 volt trolling motor draw Max is probably going to be around 50A, but it varies quite a bit with speed setting, wind, current, boat weight etc.. Older service manuals are showing the Maxxum 74 at 45A max draw. [links]
In most cases, the manufactures recommended wire is 8 gauge for most 24-volt systems and 6 gauge for a system of 20 feet or longer. To account for voltage-drop, heat and current changes resulting from low batteries I recommend 6 gauge wire and 4 gauge for over 15 feet.

Additionally, how do you wire a trolling motor? When you're wiring a 24-volt trolling motor, it's important that you first connect to the circuit breaker (which should only be four inches from the battery. You will want to connect the positive lead of the trolling motor to the positive terminal on the circuit breaker.
To use an example, a 55 lb thrust motor unit has a peak power draw of 40 amps. If you use the trolling motor for 6 hours at average 50% load of 20 amps, the trolling motor will then require a battery load of 120 Ah.
The formula generated a smaller gauge wire for the shorter length system connections and a larger gauge wire for the longer connections. From my observation, it appears that the manufacture upsized the wire on the shorter lengths to be uniform with the trolling motor lead and to prevent a smaller wire from acting as a fuse which could cause a fire. more
In most cases, the manufactures recommended wire is 8 gauge for most 24-volt systems and 6 gauge for a system of 20 feet or longer. To account for voltage-drop, heat and current changes resulting from low batteries I recommend 6 gauge wire and 4 gauge for over 15 feet. My additional reasoning for this recommendation is that your system will degrade between maintenance to remove corrosion and replace connectors.
