Battery Wire

My 2005 FD226CC is prewired for a trolling motor. Anyone know the wire gauge utilized in 2005? Also, the positive wires are equipped with inline fuse holders. My problem, I do not have the wire ends which have the battery connectors. Any idea the manufacturer for this particular inline fuse holder or where I might be able to purchase those connectors, wire ends?

I have answered by own question regarding the wire gauge, it is 8 gauge. This is unfortunate as this size boat really need an 80 lb. thrust trolling motor which specs 6 gauge wire.

Depending on your length, what I did to run trolling motor wire for mine is head to Walmart. Bought 4 Gauge booster cables. Removed the clamps. Then I had one length of cable to run (color coded for ground/positive). Much less expensive and easier to run. And having heavier is better than lighter gauge (you could also just run the same with 6 gauge)------------------------------------------------------------------------------2010 Hurricane SS 188 OB
