I would go with the #6 wire. #8 might get hot if you are pushing the trolling motor hard.
So I guess you have a NMEA 2000 Network? I have my HDS units linked with the ethernet cable. Just wondering if it is worth the money and hassle to install the NMEA 2000 Network just to have the Xi5 talking to the HDS. I get on my waypoint now and hit anchor on the Xi5. Is having the Xi5 connected a big advantage?

Yes NMEA 2000 Network. I'm trying to remember why I needed it in the beginning, It think it was because of the Pinpoint Gateway that I installed, and then it came in handy when I put in the Point One (Hockey Puck). So many advantages to having the Pinpoint Gateway, probably too many to list here, but for one, I can click on the map and tell the MG to take me to any spot I touch on the screen and it will drive there and go into Anchor mode when it arrives. This feature really helps if you're trying to triangulate a position on a school of summer bass!
