Get some butt connectors that have the shrink wrap insulation and use
those. Alternatively, solder the wires together and use shrink wrap.


Butt Connectors?? If you can solder the wires together there is no
question in my opinion. Hey SW got some video of that 25 horse on
Crystal Lake. The steering works fine, the cables were made from
jumper cables. I left the factory connections from the alligator clips
and just cut them down round and drilled holes in the copper. The
thing starts really nicely (with a rope or starter when it catches),
water pump pumps very nicely. Gear oil great... Probably still only
goes about 15 of so but I ran it for about an hour and a half today to
run it out first time. I did have it running in a barrel for a couple
of hours yesterday before I hit the lake
