Need Help with Wiring Size

[flanders]

I am moving both my batteries in my 2006 23lsv and need some help from the BU crew. My main battery wires run from the engine to the observers area battery and I need to extend them a few feet. I'm not sure if they are 2 awg or 2/0 awg. If anyone could have a look at theirs that would be great as my boat is stored quite a distance from my home and shopping.

Thanks

In your 2006 (it was in my 06') it should be 2 awg which is undersized, I never had a problem. They changed the wire size to 0/2 after that (not sure which year). Just extend them with the same wire size that is there.

Ya. and 0/2 or 0/anything is really cheap these days!
