I need to replace my battery cables for my 2003 F115 Yamaha. Yamaha’s price is $200. I was going to make a set, but I would really rather just buy an aftermarket one with the terminals already on. Anybody have any ideas?
What length?

08’ Yamaha 90
There are always greater fish than you have caught, always the lure of greater task and achievement, always the inspiration to seek, to endure, to find.
you can buy 4 gauge wire in red and black at boat centers or lawnmower shops,just get what length you need… then get crimp on cable ends for 5/16" or 3/8" holes which ever you need,crimp them on then fill cable end full of solder and finally put heat shreak over it all… works great and looks good.A month ago I moved my batteries on my boat from the stern to the CC on both motors, made 2 sets of cables 11’ long total cost $100.00

Never heard of after-market power leads for any outboard, but I guess there may be some. Determine what gauge, what length, what fittings, then try this place: http://stores.ebay.com/Genuinedealz
I moved a battery 4 years ago and had my supplemental cables made there; tinned cable, plated fittings, heat shrink, the whole nine yards. The site is a little cumbersome to navigate, but they put out a good product for marine environments. Call 'em if you need to …

I got cables from Chris V at Charleston Marine for 25% $less than the factory ones. I installed them myself and MY PROBLEMS ARE OVER!
Those guys at C-Marine are great! Thanks Chris for being so helpful
