Thanks for suggestions. The battery is wired such that it is impossible to take off connections, such as to livewell, without also taking off motor connection. Hate that I can't simply rewire it directly to motor.
Most boats can easily be rewired however you want. Use an electrician's fish tape to pull them to where you need. #6 stranded copper for trolling motor. #12 stranded wire for most other things is plenty.
