  PowerPole bulkhead #1.jpg - One day, I decided I wanted to make Anderson PowerPoles waterproof, and discovered that they fit perfectly in a Bulgin SA3230 screw terminal insert, after I cut the PowerPoles short and Dremeled them down a little. I simply popped out the pins from the insert, expanded the holes for the positive / negative cords, and lined up the groove on the side of the red PowerPole to match up with the key running down the side of the insert. I added a little RTV silicone inside the PowerPole bulkhead for good measure. Recently, I replaced the relatively stiff 10 gauge PVC "zip cord" I had been using with far superior flexible silicone cable that I imported from China. The stuff is simply amazing, and feels like licorice. I also replaced the standard PowerPoles with ultrasonically welded PowerPoles . These don't split apart, as regular ones sometimes do. They also eliminate the need for roll pins and allow you to use retention clips . $23.95 (PowerPole bulkhead with 2 feet of 10 gauge silicone cable)
