Battery disconnects

[atomb]

I have one battery in my boat that is directly wired to the engine with nuts on the threaded terminals.

Im constantly unscrewing these and screin them back on since my boat is always in need of work.

whats the best product or products to use to simplify this task and make my life easier while still being safe?

Please help Im tired of screwin scew terminals on and off.

Thanks ahead for any input

Click here PERKO BATTERY SWITCH

This will just disconnect the power, not the cables.

Interestingly, the dual purpose battery I recently bought at AutoZone didn't come with wingnuts; it came with regular hex nuts. Could it be that someone is paying attention?

Bought a couple Sears DieHard AGMs that came with wingnuts. I used them for the stainless steel battery hold down that I welded up!
