I am replacing my 15 yr old Good Windlass with a Lofrans Tigres.
I am trying to confirm whether the existing cables are correctly sized for the newer unit.
The Tigres is a 1500 Watt, 12 vdc unit.
App current draw is 80 -130 amps on the spec sheet.
My cables are 35' feet long so the sizing is based on the round trip of 70'. I know enough to be dangerous, lol.
The spec sheet also says the conductor size is 50mm squared.
I am sure it is fairly thick cable.
