Hello folks. I recently purchased a Pelican Bass Raider 10E. I have a 55 lb thrust Minn Kota Riptide TM that I'll mount on the bow and group size 24 12v deep cycle battery that I'll keep at the rear, for weight balance. The boat is pre-wired with 8 gauge wire, and the TM has 10 gauge wire. I picked up a 3 prong plug to connect to the end of the TM wires. My question is: will the differing size wire gauges pose any issues while operating? I also plan on getting one of the fancy schmancy battery boxes that have the 60 amp circuit breaker built in. I'm a complete novice when it comes to electrical FYI. Looking for any guidance and appreciate the help! Go Army, beat Navy.
