    Gord,

    Thanks so much.
    Heres the skinny:
    Lofrans Tigris 1500W windlass.
    12 VDC
    Assuming ~60 feet total wire run for my 37’ Crealock to windlass and back to battery
    A=P/V = 1500W/12.5V = 120 amps
    10% permitted drop
    VD=10% x 12.5 = 1.25V
    CM=(10.75 x 120A x 60 ft)/1.25V
    = 77,400/1.25 = 61,920 CM
    Per table CM for 2 AWG is 66,369 which is larger than 61,920 (by almost 10%!)
    So I hope for 2 AWG
