    Re-Wiring my Blades

    Okay picked up a new Phoenix a month ago, dealer installed the 8' Blades, all good right, nope. Anyway I talked to PP customer service and K&K Kustomz today, thanks to both for your help.

    Quick question, I am installing a switch to kill the power to the Blades, each one will have a 40 amp fuse inline with 10 gauge wire from the switch. For the jumper from the battery to the switch I think I have options, I can either run a single 10 gauge, a double 10 gauge or a single 8 gauge. I am a mechanical engineer, not electrical, is a single 10 enough for the amps the pumps draw? If not then I can go one of the other two routes.

    Thanks again.

    Thank you sir, it will be no more then 12" long, probably go 8 ga since I have an old set of jumper cables to sacrifice!

    8 will work we use a 6ga tinned cable with ring ends on all our installs.
