I've had a set of 00ga 20 footers in the MaXum for 17 years. Keep them
in one of those blanket/comforter bags that seal at the top. Hauled 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.- Hide quoted text -

And will corrode nicely in a salt water environment.
