Ok replacement sounds very valid. I cannot comment on cable sizes as I
have no info on the motors discussed. However replacement with the
same size cable as current is still valid. You are replacing because
of crappy connections (which should not be there) and corrossion
damage.

Well it all started re routing some 12 awg conductors then I saw took
a good look at the windlass cables. I guess I looked a little closer
than the surveyor did some years ago and spotted a splice and then
another splice and then......


If everything worked well with all of these faults then new
cable of the same CSA will also work.

Good logic. If workd that way okay it really be good with new.

Unless you feel that the current
setup is oversized? Given that you may NEED the windlass when your
battery is LOW go for the lowest % you can afford IMHO but no smaller
than existing.

Ya, this would be a very descission if I only know the amp load from
the windlass. Hopfully Ill hear from a tech monday.

I fully expect your next post to say "Whilst further digging along the
cable route I found more connections with a variety of different size
cables between them". I have seen it before G



Actually I DID ! I just didnt want to get too long winded over cables.


Thanks for you all your suggestions. It sure helps to have a bunch of
ideas to consider. Options are good !
