Default Speaking of jumper cables for boats...

Yep, I had a set made for welding cable. Expensive though.

I've had a set of 00ga 20 footers in the MaXum for 17 years. Keep them

them
out a month ago to steam clean the engine bay, and found only light
surface rust on the clamps. Still work good, spring tension, etc.
Pony up for the long 00 guage set. Very important for the length req
for
jumping a boat.

Thanks.

Duly noted.


Make em. You will have to buy the #0 guage tinned wire and it is
expensive. Best I found was about $3.00/ft on e-bay.


Go to a welding supply store and look at the size cables they have.
Welding leads make the best jumper cables. Very high current carrying and
very flexible.
