Actually it will not. As long as the smaller tap cable is on the load side you will negate the majority of the line loss in the 2/0 running from the front to the connection point at the transom. I also agree that ridding any excess coiled wire from the motor feed is best. Wire coils are chokes (resistors) and add to the load.
