<div dir="ltr"><div>Alan, What about using their 4 pin which is rated at 50amps and gang a pair of the wires and either side of the connector. The interesting thing is that the mk101 connector thruster to controller is a 1/4" flat blade connector tied to the 8 ga wires with crimp connector. Yet the wet connector uses 8ga on the 60cm inline cable and 10ga on the 30cm Bh leads. </div>

<div><font size="3">I've used both. A bulkhead connector and cable with the mateable plug on the tag end for the thru-hull penetrator, then a wet mateable fitting on the thruster itself. It makes changing a thruster very simple and keeps the clutter down, and might be a little cheaper when bought as a set.</font></div>

<div>More connector thoughts.</div>
<div>Would we be better off having penetrators rather than connectors?</div>
<div>I believe they taylor make these connectors / penetrators, so why not have a</div>
<div>penetrator for the through hull & a penetrator on the other end of the cable for </div>
<div>fitting straight on to the thruster. Perhaps a combination of penetrator &</div>
