Just picked up a2003 220cc need to upgrade batteries going to AGM HAVE 150HP OX66 would like to move batteries to CC looking for batteries sizes and the new wire size from motor to batteries.
Thanks

I use Optima blue top 34M's although not in the console yet. You'll need to calculate the amp draw for the engine start and distance to the console to determine the wire size.
Congrats on your 220 and welcome aboard.

plenty of online calculators out there on wire size vs. amps and distance.

Thank you for the response I got how to find the wire size form the charts what I’m having trouble with is the total amps is it amps from the motor to the battery or the battery to the motor.

Amps will likely be much higher from the battery to the motor. I think most alternators are only 35a or so. Batteries provide much more amperage than that to start the motor.

Battery to motor is what you need.
