[PSUBS-MAILIST] MK-101 Connectors

[David Colombo via Personal_Submersibles]

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.
