That West Marine connector has no current ratings published, and one reviewer noted that you couldn't use wires as large as AWG# 14 or 16 on it... so try to find out what current you need to carry on the start contacts.

For our 5HP outboard's charging output and kill switch, I just used a molded 4-pin trailer connector. Cheap and durable.

On our old C25, male, one female. They were down below, so not exposed. You could consider using two of these for your needs. Also look in Ace Hardware's electrical section - there are many other connectors available than at West Marine! :)
