Jumper cables used as battery leads

[cruss70]

Can the actual wire (without the clamp ends) of 4 guage 500amp battery cables be used as starter cables? I wanted to move the battery from the rear of my boat to mid ship. Noticed that battery cable is EXPENSIVE! I have a 35 Evinrude with electric start, wanting to move the battery about 8 foot forward.

Yes 4 guage or awg will be sufficient for your motor.
