When I changed a previous boat from 4D to golf cart batteries, I
found that the battery dealer had suitable jumper cables in stock.

I made other cables at one of the local marine suppliers - they had
wire, connectors and tools available in the store.  On a previous
occasion, they loaned me the crimp tool (after I bought cable and
connectors from them).
