Also, reduce wire length wherever possible. Even an inch here and there translates to alot of un-necessary wire.
Looking good, glad you are having these great results!

It's funny how voltage goes through the converters.
Watts in = Watts out
What I mean is, if I'm drawing 50 amps on the low voltage side, on the high voltage battery side, it's only 25 amps.
I figured the 4mm bullets and the 10Ga. would be enough for that.
It's on the low voltage side that I really need to increase the wire size.
I verified all of this with a watt meter.
It's funny you mention the wiring thing though.
Last time we went fishing, I forgot my 7 foot 10Ga. "extension cord".
This forced me to move the power alot closer to the motor.
Voltage drop was less and total watts was considerably more.
I need to go bigger between the converters and the motor for sure.
