Replacing the positive battery cable

I replaced the Positive battery cable with marine grade 2 gauge cable from the marine supply store. I also used their marine grade crimp on cable ends. Take out the battery and the tray. Clean and paint the tray. Measure the old cable and clean the starter motor terminal. I then connected the new cable to the starter and then sprayed it with the red battery terminal spray. Ugly...yes, but who cares. I also used heat shrink on both ends on the terminals right up to the bend on terminal eyes. I then applied clear silicone sealant over the entire connector all the way over the end of the heat shrink. Using the much larger size wire amazingly eases the starting stress. Overkill.... Absolutely. Jq.

 

What conduit?? However,I forgot to mention in my post, that I did purchase some VERY expensive heat shield tubing form JEGS to cover the cable with. Overkill..yup. That's same reason that I carry a .45 call instead of a 9mm. Over. Jq.
