OnBoard Charging extension
Gents,
I’m installing a 3 bank onboard charger. I have to extend 2 battery leads to reach the bow of my boat from the stern. Has anyone every done this? The ones that come with it are 6’ I’m going to need to be 16’. I called the manufacturer but all I got for a response was it will void the warranty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

h. If the DC output cords are not long enough, they may be lengthened by splicing and soldering 12 AWG (minimum) wire. Each splice should be covered with dual wall adhesive lined heat shrink tubing to protect the joint from corroding. The splice should be made between the fork in the output cable and the fuse holder. The fuse holder should always remain within 7” of the battery terminals. The maximum extension length is 15 feet. You may contact the Minn Kota Service Department with any questions.

I have added to the middle of those cables (same manufacture) by using the same diameter wire and soldering the connections........then shrink tubing and finally electrical tape over the tubing. Never had a problem. The manufacture wants you to purchase their product which of course pricey.
If you don't have faith in your skills then purchase the extension leads. Bob
