Re: [electricboats] Electric Drive Update - end of season inspection

Ah, yeah - mine does, too: "#4 SAE COPPER 105 CENTIGRADE."   I took off the heat shrink and discovered that it isn't tinned copper, so it will fail sooner.

Here is an article I found on a quick search:

https://www.westmarine.com/WestAdvisor/Marine-Wire-Terminal-Tech-Specs

Technically, SAE (Society of Automotive Engineering) cable would work, but it is not the most appropriate solution. 

I'd be interested in any other input on this issue. I'm a bit concerned that these components are being sold as solutions for aquatic/marine environments.

I've checked and the jacket says copper.

Hey Jorge --

I am also doing a conversion with a kit from Thunderstruck.

Did you happen to check the  cables they sent to see if it's tinned copper or just copper?

Thanks!

Dan, thanks for the post. The details are very helpful indeed. I'm in the process of doing a diesel to electric conversion using the 10kw Thunderstruck sail boat kit.

I have a question for you what length and gage wire are you using for the connection from batteries to controller. 

Thanks,  Jorge

Thanks for the comments.  Happy to give back a little of what I have gotten from this group. 

I spent some time this evening adding more info and photos.  I'll likely split this all into smaller pages but for now it all starts here:
