The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
hi - I am going to replace the above cable as it is damaged - after pricing an OMC part (exhorbitant price ) i have decided to make my own up - does anyone know the starting current of the above so I can get the correct cable? thanks
Hello<br /> yes some of the cables are a bit pricy. most shops here use a #4 cable. if the wire run is under 6 ft. there is a chart around for that.as to the excact starting current I dont know and all my manuals are not here with me.<br /> good luck and keep posting
http://www.cablecotech.com/powdistprod.html <br /><br />Check out the PowerFlex cable, and the FusionLug.<br />We use this stuff at work. It's great flexible wire.<br /><br />The FusionLug is created from the copper wire, using some high pressure press, and then solder dipped. There are no crimped-on lugs, or soldered-on lugs to create problems.<br />They have charts to help you with size recommendations, and current carrying capabilities. Note that these charts are for constant full time loads, and are very conservative.<br />4 gauge will work just fine.
