I'm transferring my MinnKota Terrova to my 22SFX. It's 24 volt, 80# thrust. My question is about wiring. My deep cycle batteries are mid-ships, straight across from the helm. It looks like it will take 18-20 feet of wire to get from the batteries up to the right front corner hatch, where I'll mount my plug-in receptacle.
What gauge wire should I use for that long of a run?
 
I ran 6 when I did mine. I'm running a 36v system too. One piece of advise, go with the battery tender trolling motor plug, not cheap but really really nice.
