Hi Hank,
not quite following what you are doing.
How come only one wire needs to disconnect?
Do you mean the occupancy sphere or the escape pod?
There are pull apart connectors that have high amps running through them
that they use in the RC World. If you google 5 or 6mm gold connectors you 
are bound to find them. 
I wonder if it would be better to connect them, & coat them in some sort of
grease & shrink tube over the connection. This would waterproof them, 
stop stray current & still leave them able to pull apart if there is enough force 
to tear the shrink tubing apart.
Alan
