I am running a new set of control lines from the windlass to the Pilot House.
The cable run will be 60'-75', from the windlass solenoids to a DPDT momentary switch in the Pilot House. I have checked the current wiring from the footswitch on the bow to the solenoids, and it is substantial, 10 or 8 AWG. Is this overkill for control lines? I was going to run 12/3 to the PH swittch, but now I'm thinking that may not be big enough for a run that long.
any thoughts, ideas or advice would be welcome.
Thanks
