marine batteries will have screw-on top posts if that is what you are asking. I bought a crimp tool and repaired my own terminals. Used Noalox in the terminals and on the cables.
I'm wired- (H37C)

- Start date
Here's the tool I bought. For the price, it was worth it. I crimped my sub panel connections as well with it

Don't forget to get the isolation panel that is in the "often bought with" -- it is a safety item and required for ABYC (keeps your hands from getting shocked). I really like my blue sea panel - only complaint - it came to me (from PO) with nothing but 20A breakers - regardless of what the expected draw is.

I saw those isolation panels too. I have a hard time believing they are worth $88 each, And you need 3 of them??
Holly Molly. And I thought I had electrical problems. You did say this was a Hurricane recovered boat...
Tupperware makes a good isolation "panel"- cheaper than $88. I wonder why you got all those breakers that are not what you need? Will they be showing up on the "for sale" classifieds?
"Starting Battery" I need help with which size to buy:
27m or 31m for my H37C Yanmar 30 HP???
(Going to buy a dual purpose battery- BTW!?)
Going to West marine this afternoon- bringing home something
I figure #2 cable size, too.
Thanks for the help in advance

I will fill the breakers- the ac wire is in the boat- it does have ac- water heater- so on all wired and ready to go..
Gp. 27 has plenty of guts for cranking a 30 HP diesel. I use "deep cycle" for both house & cranking. That way they are interchangable. #2 AWG should be fine."Starting Battery" I need help with which size to buy:
