if i was not on a tight budget when wiring a TM i would go to a welding supply house and buy small welding cable to connect the TM to the battery. this is a fine stranded wire that will have allmost 0 voltage drop .
It is not very exspensive and will work alot better than stranded or solid
wire that is designed to carry 110v and higher. again don't forget a 12v. circut breaker in line . circut breaker trips and can be reset unlike fuse that blows and has to be replaced.

Good info Eman, The only thing i would add is dielectric grease on the connectons. We used it all the time on underwater sensors on ours Dredges.
