    Default Wire Size for Ulterra 24 volt


    Does anyone know if the existing 8 AWG wire in my 17' Tracker is big enough for an Ulterra 24 volt 80 lb trolling motor?

    The chart goes from 8 AWG at 15’ to 6 AWG at 20’. I figure I’ll be in between.

    I have a 2009 17.5' Tracker and using a 24v Ulterra 80lb for 4+ years, using factory wiring with no problem.

    Thanks for all the help. Got the Ulterra hooked up over the weekend and tried it out Sunday. Everything worked fine. I temporarily mounted the heading sensor by the console. Seems to work fine there. If I can figure out how to get the power back to the fuse block easily I may move it up front.

    The new 3 bank charger and the Battery Tender plug is what was expensive.
