I have a 135 HP evirude. I'm gonna be putting my batteries under my console. What gauge lead should I use to run about 8 foot?

My leanth is much greater then yours, I used 4 gauge Tinned wire for marine use. Got from a guy on ebay at a fair price.
Went from transom all the way to cabin in the 23 foot Sea Ox and have 0 issues. Hope that helps

For that size engine a 6 guage is teh minumum size to go with, but I would go with 4 or bigger myself. I believe in overkill.

I'm pretty sure I used 2 AWG (don't think it was 2/0...not that I really know the difference) in my old 20' Grady when I moved the batteries under the console. That was with a 150 Merc V6.
That motor cranked so fast it nearly tore the transom off.
