Alan,
That is the  point, simple is better, best in fact.

Cliff, see my previous note to Alan.  Forget the subconn site, go
      through the Macartney site at
http://macartney.com/systems/infrastructure/subconn%C2%AE

SubConn does have a true 50amp per pin connector but it has four
      pins with a max connector rating of 200 amps, model HPBH4.  They
      don't show a two pin model but maybe we should ask if they can
      produce it for us.

And for the classification discussion, they make a one pin monster
      power connector rated for 250 amps.

If I understand what the Subconn rep said, the BHB2M* connector overall rating is 50A so if we connect to a MK-101 lower unit, and we run the motor at max load, then we would see 46 A in teach wire / pin.  For non commercial personal applications I can live with this as they have a big factor of safety but for those that are trying to get their boat classed, this is not going to work as classing agencies like ABS and Lloyds specify that parts like these have to operate within vendor specifications.  They would need a connector rating of 100A, i.e., 50A per pin if I am understanding this.
