2g gauge lol, that's about as thick as my thumb.....it'll work tho jp.

Also, - you can use OFC for that, marine rated, won't corrode. It's an option.

And if you incorporate a product that goes by , - "A Special" at your starter connections and terminals, it won't corrode or wash off. It's more of a salt water thing, but you brush it in. It's conductive grease mixed with metal shards that works very very well and stays on there.

*Not* 60° currently @ about 2am, but still calling for snow tomorrow (just 1-3").



EDIT: It looks like Whitey is going to be getting some, too.

Hahaha yeh I know its overkill but I have some laying around that would just need to be cut to length and add some lugs. I didnt know "A Special" was a thing. I usually just coat in dielectric but ill see if I can find what you suggest. It really does amaze me with what you guys know just through experience.

This boat actually sees sal****er so any extra protection I can get is a good idea.

I was going to recommend NO OX-IDE since I'd not heard of the "A-Special" stuff. Well then!

Yep... getting it pretty good right now. I live in the benches of Tooele, so we usually get it pretty good. It's still coming down.



Being in the benches, we usually get more than predicted.

Weird thing is.... I think I saw 68 degrees on my phone on Thursday. My week has been a blur, however, so I may be mistaken on the exact temp. I know it was over 60 though, lol.

Dang.... one of my neighbors just went by with his snow blower. It's getting deep, LOL. It's supposed to keep going for 3 more hours too.
