#2 Welding sounds like the ticket. It sounds as though length (in KR terms) doesn't matter. I still think shorter is better so I will move it forward since I have the time.
Thanks to all. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Langford" n5...@hiwaay.net Well I found a place that says a reasonable current draw for a Sentra starter can be as much as 200 amps, so based on that, a 2 AWG wire would be better, and the added weight would be minimal over that short 5' distance.
