Mini-jumper cable question

[BigMac]

The absence of a pull starter on the 4 strokes makes me wonder whether or not a set of jumper cables might not be an item that I should carry on my Vector.

Storage space is a little limited, so I'm wondering if there is a set of cables available to buy that might be more suitable than conventional jumper cables, or alternatively, what gauge wire one should use to make a pair of 4 footers...

I have a small set stored in the front of my Vector.. Along with many other handy items.. If you care to see other ideas, we have a thread started in the RX section. It's worth the read.. I have a handlebar bag that I store an emergency kit etc. in. MM.

on page 36 of the acc cat Yammie has compact jumper cables
MAR-JUMPR-CA-BL $14.95

10 feet long cant tell the GA of the wire.
In the pic they look like 1/4-1/3 the size of a battery

I dont really think you need them unless you are experamenting with lighter batteries or you cant break the habit of using the kill as a shut off

That's probably true. I've never had any of my electric start snowmobiles fail on the trail.

This is what I have decided I am going to use.

I am going to wire an acc jack on my sled and go straight to the battery. http://www.accumate.co.uk/it020002.html
+ I'll put an accessory plug on my optimate http://www.accumate.co.uk/it020003.html

This one is much more compact than the Yamie compact jumpers.

It will be cool hooking up the charger or jump starting....................... .........without even opening up the hood 8)
