[Alberg30] battery cables

[Brian and Elaine Timmins]

I'll third the recommendation for AWG 4, and add be sure to replace it with
boat cable that is "tinned" for corrosion protection.
When I rewired my Alberg, I did a lot of research and calculations (which
are gone now) and determined that #4 cable would be more than enough for the
starter load even under adverse conditions. Anything larger is just a waste
of money (unless you have some other high amp draw equipment on board).
Regards,
Brian
