[QUOTE="hossthehermit, post: 136488, member: 2755"] Perhaps I should explain in greater depth; 1. Bigger is better. This means that since 6 gauge is larger than 8 gauge, I would recommend that. If you have room, I'd recommend 4 gauge. 2. Side mount. This means that I have found the side mount terminals to maintain a good connection better than top munt terminals, especially in applications where there is likely to be a fair amount of movement. I strongly recommend the "star" type washers between the cable end and the terminal itself, for me it seems to help maintain a solid connection. Nothing i hate worse than having to constantly wiggle cables to get and keep a connection. 3. I don't use a breaker on the rare occasions that I use an electric motor. Pardon my lack of helpfulness, and feeble sense of humour. [/QUOTE]
