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: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Wire-Troll...532e3e&vxp=mtr |
Try some of this to help with corrosion. Really helps for corrosion due to dissimilar metals and has anti-seize in it in case you need to remove it.
