What wire gauge for electric Jack plate.

[NSBCraig]

Hey I have a TH Marine Power High Jacker, it's an electric ram not hydraulic.

What wire gauge should the wires running to the motor from the relays be, and is that the same as to the relays?

Thank you.

Depends on the amperage draw and length of the wire run.

Hey Bubba- It's for v-4 engines, not pro or high speed.

Don S- Why'd you post if your not gonna post anything? I would imagine every jack is about the same wire run, huh?

Man I wish I could find some info on this thing!

It sure doesn't seem like that long ago this thing was bought, but I guess it really must have been and TH doesn't list anything about it.

I wouldn't assume that at all, that is why I said it depends on the amperage of the unit and length of wire run. Without that information, no one can accurately suggest wire size.
