I just searched and purchased 10' of wiring for an upgraded RV power converter. the cheapest I found was here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001550DVU/ref=oss_product Although others complained about corroded wire, mine arrived tinned on the end with no connector. It is 4 ga. wire, so plenty for the max 70 A. output of the converter. Be advised though that the marine grade cables I also looked at are tinned the full length to avoid corrosion. That might be the "right stuff" for your application.

The boat came with a real "There I fixed it!" solution, which is a heavy cable from the battery mated to a extension cord 30amp locking plug, with the opposite gender plug attached at the end of the cable coming from the motor. By disconnecting this plug, the motor can be removed if needed. Do any of you Sailors know what/where to get the correct connection hardware? Heavy cable is not a problem - I'm planning to use a jumper cable. I'd like to get back to a more original electrical connection between the outboard engine and the battery, assuming it won't cost me an arm and a leg.
