An older fishing friend of mine wants me to extend his trolling motor cable 8 feet so he can locate his battery towards the front of his canoe when he fishes alone (a balance thing).

I made one for myself years ago when I wired my home theater system but have no more wire left over or I'd give him some.

Anyone know where I can buy 8 feet of (double + - ) 8 ga speaker wire cheaply? 6 or 10 ga would work in a pinch but 8's probably the best for the amps it draws.

Thanks

Look up power cables for automotive installs. They go down at least to 8AWG, I think bigger.

Thanks, I realized that but we don't have any install places near here. Wondered if anyone knew of a small jobber or even a larger store who sells this way or if anyone had any leftovers to sell. The ebayers have it in single piece but I'd like to find a double piece so I wouldn't have to tape it.

Home Depot sells it by the foot. I bought some 6 gauge for an 80amp welder circuit.

Thanks, I'll try them next time I am near one of their stores.
