When I went with a 230 amp Powermaster I upgraded the cables and used a 250 amp breaker. The breaker allows you to troubleshoot the problem without continuously blowing fuses. I also switched it off when I was having an over charging issue.

I am having no luck finding any place around here that makes cables.
I did find a place on line that has stock replacements for 102.00 + shipping. I really hate to pay that much, but I don't see any alternative.
I'm still going to do the alternator upgrade tho.

Do you have a snow plow shop anywhere near you?
Do you have a boatyard anywhere near you?
Do you have a welding equipment shop anywhere near you?
Do you own a vise and a propane torch?
If yes to any of the above then you really aren't trying too hard to solve the problem.

We're talking 6-gauge cable with ring terminals, right? How long do they need to be?
- They also offer 12 inch long ones, and cables with different ring sizes.

Am I the only one with 2 cables plus 2 other smaller wires pigtailed on the positive side that runs to a molded 2 wire set up on the solinoid?

You can even order bulk wire and lugs online. That's usually what I do.
Also check out local car audio places. Probably don't want to use over priced car audio wire for it, but they can make them up.
Man I started out doing this, but have you priced good jumper cables lately? Holy heck they aren't cheap anymore. I've found buying bulk welding cable online to be a much much much cheaper option.
