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.<br clear="none" class="" style="">
<br clear="none" class="" style="">
And for the classification discussion, they make a one pin monster
power connector rated for 250 amps.<br clear="none" class="" style="">

I don't see a part number associated with a 50A version of
BHB2M. There is a 50A 4 pin model HPB4M but this has a larger
body and no option for 2 pin.</div>

<div class="" style=""> Lets assume Subconn has a Hi-Power version of BHB2M. For
the sake of argument, lets call it BHB2M* . 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.</div>
