Vendor for custom battery cables

[Teranodon]

I have made several cables (notably, long ones for the windlass) using (for free) the crimper at the local West Marine store. I bought the components there, naturally.

For those in the Chesapeake club, I have a hydraulic crimper.

I went with http://customboatcables.com
Very happy with price, web site options, and quality.
(and for an extra buck they put labels on the cables - mine are always falling off)

Installed t the second battery in the port settee. Ten hanged my mind and moved instead to the quarter berth were there is more rood (the hull is less curved. Ten feet of 1/0 cable from the switch to the battery. 4 feet 1/0 grounded to the engine.
And ran the shore to the battery switch because it is a 2 foot run instead of the 10 feet to the battery.

Thank you all for comments. Much appreciated.
The project took much longer than anticipated (no surprise really) but I think with all your advice I have it about right.

Question now on how to best secure the battery ?
Bolt a battery box to the quarter berth sides ?
Glass a battery tray to the floor ?

thanks

I had a local mechanic do mine while we chatted in his garage. Don’t recall the cost but it was fun to see a human. He was a former Pratt and Whitney guy so he knew his stuff. Don’t forget to buy local when you can.
