Hooky Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Or welding cables, must be tinned, need two lengths of 9ft ,advice or links please . I don't need anything too extreme. It would be better if I could also get the ends with soldered spade ends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 If you can't get them soldered, I can crimp them for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooky Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Thank you , pms on the way as soon as I can get a evening free , I have been trying to sort out this issue for months, full battery (new) would work fine , start in driveway every time on the key. Get it on the slip , ready to launch and werrrrrrrrrrt werrrrrrrrr ( slowly) cleaned terminals etc , nadda!!!!!!!! Take it home and yes, starts again first turn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I then thought the issue was the 12v cigarette socket was full of water and was discharging it. It actually turns out the + cable has a joiner, when the boat was tilted water went in between a section of the hull, exactly where the joint was laying under the deck !!!! . I also understand that cable can corrode break down under load ? Another issue was it charging the battery from the outboard , sometimes 13.2v and other days nothing! . I always kept a jump starter on board just in case, it has got to be the cables there is no other explanation ( how can such a simple problem be so difficult to sort out ???????)
