I moved mine from bilge to console. Figured around 130# moved 8 feet forward might help.....oh yes it did.

Here's the voltage drop calculator thats pretty simple.
geuindealz has THE best pricing too.
I oversized my runs moving mine forward. Then i added post terminals to drop the wire gauge down to get into the powerhead slots. That way you have a couple of feet of smaller gauge and it fits without the massive voltage drop of running 10x's the length it was rated for. Makes turning the motor way easier too.

Here's the main leads from console to bilge. Then dropped size down for power head. Makes it easy to run the bilge lighting, anchor light, etc...depending on your switch set up.
While your in there, a little 3v LED cheapo light from eBay is the fix for the mini-mag in the mouth when your checking bilge at night.
Little dab of 5200 does it.
