    I would use 10 gauge marine grade wire.

    Something like this.

    I keep getting a low-volt message at my Helix 10 at the dash, shows 12.3 volts on the graph 12.4 at the dash. I’m guessing it’s a battery issue, since there’re about 2 years old. Any respectable comments would be appreciated!
