Thanks for the info guys,
I checked out genuinedealz on ebay and bestboatwire.com
for 2awg cables
genuinedealz is at 3.36$/foot (free shipping)
bestboatwire is 2.69$/foot (+10$ shipping)
I understand that it's premium quality copper cable but on bestboatwire they use this picture for the cable...
Is there a logical reason for the copper to be a silver looking color?

About 105°C, while that is generally a good temp rating to look at, 90°C maybe a reasonable alternative, but you need to make sure you run it through the calculator as 90°C.

I am not against the cutoff switch, but you need to seriously look at fusing you house batteries, that is generally done within the first 7 inches of the positive terminal.

I have a question about the temp rating, I think the most common numbers are -20°C to 105°C
Let's say we're in the heart of winter and I want to leave for a Roadtrip down south to hotter destinations, as you know I live near Montreal Canada and It get's much colder than -20°C (-4°F) + windshield factor...
So the cable coming from the engine bay charging the house batteries is exposed + windshield (factor while driving) won't it have a problem?
Ho and by the way Greg, I did add a breaker between the house batteries and the kill switch like you told me to do, If you look at my latest drawing it's there.
Thanks again for all the advice!
