Hi Folks,
I`ve been a member on here for sometime now mainly in the Honda section but decided to have a change for my current renovation project so have got myself a 2001 merc 135 optimax salt water extra long shaft.
When the outboard arrived then it wasn`t supplied with battery cables so I`ll need to replace them but I`m not sure what # AWG rating they should be as I understand that the optimax requires a steady current when starting. I was thinking maybe #2AWG which are 35mm2 but I`m not sure if these will be too thick to go through the outlet from the bottom cowl as I also wasn`t given the inserts either.
Cheers for any help in regards to this.
