Replacing battery cables?

[GatorMike]

My cables are in bad shape. I'm going to pull them out and replace them. For a Johnson 115 what is the proper wire gauge and is there a company that makes a good set pre made? I'd just as soon pay a little extra for a set with the ends pre crimped than to mess with crimping the ends myself.

I got mine here: http://shop.genuinedealz.com/Marine Grade Wire/Marine Battery Cable/

What's nice is that they can make up a cable to the exact length that you specify.

I can't remember what size I used when I rebuilt the Checkmate, and I'd hate to make a guess and tell you wrong. Do a little searching online and you'll find something on that.

Thanks, I just did it the easy way. I pulled the old one out and took it down to West Marine and had the guy there make up one. That way I was sure to get the right lenght and size wire.
