Guys...
Glad we resurrected this thread! Good to know there ARE some 195 owners out there, who all enjoy working on their boats! Dalefan, although I haven't tackled the project yet, the dual battery set-up is next in my boat. Mitch is correct in his statement, 2gauge or 4gauge is the way to go on the power wire from the battery (everything I've read online says 2-4gauge is great, I just want to match everything.... From the looks of it, my 195 has 4gauge running from battery to motor). I've done a ton of research on this the last few months and I will be cutting the battery terminal connection off and soldering on a 4gauge ring terminal that will go to the "Comm" terminal on my Perko switch..... From everything that I've read, soldering and NOT crimping creates a better, more permanent connection. Not to mention it looks A LOT cleaner, in my opinion....
Pics please.....
