Lugs .... but more
While the review is for lugs, its actually for a lot more than that. I upgraded from AMGs to new lithium batteries. I bought these 4/0 lugs but also the 4/0 cables, fuses, cable shrink wrap and more. Basically everything I needed for the project. A huge shout out to the Yacht Rigger as being a DYI'er there were bits and pieces I needed last minute that got shipped right away and then a few items that I swapped out. They made this super easy.

Arco Zeus alternator regulator
After a lot of research, bought two of these units to go along with new Balmer XT-CR-170 alternators. Installation was a challenge but only due to having to run wires from one side of boat to the other but the support from Yacht Rigger electrical department was stellar. I had a couple of calls with Mike and he walked me through setup and configuration.

Nice product for sealing cable routes on my boat
Using this for a Starlink install. Looks to be easy to use and effective in keeping water out of the hole for the cable.
Super high quality products! Easy to install with the easy-to-follow instructions and expert guidance from The Yacht Rigger. (Be sure to turn the shore power off and unplug the cord!)
