F25 starter question.

[MadMacX]

Hi,

I have a 1998 Yamaha F25 High Thrust engine on my sailboat. I want to move the batteries in my boat, so in order to calculate the proper wire size, I need to know what is the amperage draw of the starter motor? Right now the battery is located next to the engine, but I want to move it forward to better balance the boat, so I'm assuming I'll need larger cables.

Thanks,
PB

You can extend the cables 13 ft using 4 guage wire if longer than 13 ft use 2 guage wire.
