The Trojans I've seen have a threaded hole in the top of the post.
There is a double ended threaded lug that goes in that hole and then you
use a wingnut to secure the cable. Marine battery cables generally have
a simple lug terminal that goes over a threaded terminal and is held
with a wingnut. Any auto parts place would have what you need.

Hi All,
I replaced my 2 x group 24 batteries with 2 trojan T-105 golf cart
batteries. I didn't consider the posts when I purchased the batteries
and now that they're on the boat I realize that the battery cables
won't work with these batteries. I had made considerations about size,
space, load etc but not the actual physical properties of the posts.
(I made cardboard mockups and they fit just like so)
Anyway, I need an adapter like this:

1. what the heck is that called?
2. where can I get them?!!!
I have found a lot of suppliers that sell the "male" version of that
but I need it just like in the photo. Unless I'm missing something -
which is entirely in the realm of possibility.
I don't have the tools to crimp new lugs onto the cables nor can I
remove the cables from the boat to have it done. They are very nicely
routed through the boat and that's a whole can of worms I don't care
to open.
Thanks,
Steve
