Dan,
I made up 2, 3ft 2awg cables with tin plated copper lugs with 5/16" holes. One in red and one in black. These cables are already connected to the motor as are the switches too. Feel free to bench test it upon receipt. (I already have.) Just hook the black cable to the negative side of the pack and the red cable to the positive side. The coupler will be ready tomorrow. Everything else is all boxed up and ready to go. If the coupler is done early enough, I will ship tomorrow.

[Attachment(s) from Scott Masterson smasterson2@gmail.com [electricboats] included below]Some additional information on using too large of a lower leg on electric outboard conversions.Elco is a long standing manufacturer of electric marine propulsion solutions. They have been in business for over 100 years. It is safe to say that these folks know what they are doing.They offer three electric outboards rated as follows:4,320W (5.8HP)6,240W (8.4HP)7,920W (10.6HP)For the 4,320W (5.8HP), they use a 5HP lower leg. (See "parsun 5 hp" pic attached and compare it to the "elco 4320 pic attached.)For the 6,240W (8.4HP), they use a 10HP lower leg. (See "parsun 10 hp" pic attached and compare it to the "elco 6240 pic attached.)For the 7,920W (10.6HP), they use a 10HP lower leg. (See "parsun 10 hp" pic attached and compare it to the "elco 7920 pic attached.)They do this because they match the lower leg to the rated power of the motor. If you use too large of a leg, you will be inefficient and will overheat before you make the rated power. I still agree to the benefits of low end torque that an electric motor provides. It is beneficial to low speed propulsion, but power needs RPM.I hope this clears things up.Scott
