Down Riggers wiring

[Paul Burak]

can someone tell me what gauge of wire you are supose to use to wire your electric down riggers thanks

Depending on the distance from the battery or fuse block to the female socket of the downrigger? Minimum I would use is #12 stranded and it should be tinned. Thats my opinion.Oh don't forget to fuse it 20 amp.
