Questions
Why not just replace with the same CSA as present?

Well, Im the kind of guy who does not trust the decessions of prior
owners.

What is the main reason for the change?

Hi Richard:
I am routing a bunch of my wiring and while digging behind shelvs and
bunks I found 2 splices (lugs-3/8" nut/bolt-tape) in both cables and
two spots on one cable that had a nick in the insulation. The necks
had green powder spilling out and the cable was swelled. So I think
replacing is resonable here.

So what voltage drop is resonable for a windlass motor: 3% or 10% or
someplace in-between?
