yep it says solid but stranded works fine as well I find it gets a better bond if the smaller wire is on the bottom side and the larger wire is on the top side where the nut is. after connecting I wrap the heck out of it with electrical tape to stop and corrosion as well as cushion it from rattling against something.
I connect the wires to a trolling motor plug socket for connecting to the boat and for the trolling motor side those wires are #8 wire just like the trolling motor plug wires are so I use a heavy duty butt connector to join those together for the plug end that fits the socket and then tape them good. see them here:
