Voltage drop is usually the issue. That's where the over the top wiring recommendations come from. In this case, the wire run is short AND the current draw is low so no need for huge wires. I'm a big wire advocate (BWA :)) and I won't use unnecessarily large wire.
a long ways from needing a fire department.
I remember too many years ago, I wired an analog ammeter into the 60 amp alternator on my old Taska w/ 10ga wire.
