Subject: Re: High quality two pole 60A wiring connectors
I have been looking for a suitable connector to mount on the aft bulkhead
of the engine battery compartment to use for jumping and to connect to my
tire air compressor. That way I don't need to open the lid to access the
terminals. If anyone can recommend a good connector, it would be swell to
hear about it.
