I am removing my Honda motor for winter from my boat. Does anyone know an easy way to get the battery cable off. I unhooked it from the battery but don't see a connection to undo from the actual motor. I can't pull it under the floor because of gormets that the cable goes through.  It's a Lund, with a Honda 20 hp.

Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks

Sounds like you need to install a quick disconnect in the cable near the engine.  These doodads come in handy for that...

They require soldering, though.

It's 85 degrees, hot and windy out today. What are you doing putting your boat up for winter?   ;D

I agree with Micropterus - these connectors will definitely do the job for you. However, you do not have to solder them though. I use 4 of these connectors between my tow vehicle and my boat; all of which I've installed myself. I just crimp them in place - according to the instructions - and use liquid electrical tape to seal the openings. Has worked well for me for 2 years now with no problems to date.

JB On the starter of the Honda should be the only big red cable there. If you can't find it let me know and i will call a freind that is a mech for Lund down the road and see how he does it. Good luck.

Thanks for the info, I was able to get the battery cable out by threading it under the floor. I will definitely look into the quick disconnect for next time.  

Yea, it is really warm here too! It is suppose to be in the 70's all week. Unfortunately, where I like to fish, they lowered the lake level so that the camp owners could repair their retaining walls before winter. All my fav fishing spots are now puddle deep!  :-/

Again, my thanks.
