5000 34 2.1

WOT
6000 41 1.4

I have 2 batteries on a shelf just forward of the motor where they had the live well. I was thinking about moving the batteries up front. Either between the seats in the storage locker or in the cabin to try to get the bow down and keep the water from coming up through the scuppers when people are standing in the back.
If I move the batteries I would need around 20 feet per wire. What size wire should I use to make the run?

Thanks

Ken, you are pretty close. Your fuel burn is in the ballpark as you are using knots and nmpg where others use statute. Take some pictures of your set up looking from the back at prop level and from the side and post them up.
