[QUOTE="jethro, post: 464264, member: 12381"] It's not locking that's the issue, guy at the boat store said to really crank them down. Like 60 foot lbs! I know you can use a wrench on wing nuts but basically that negates the whole point of wing nuts, doesn't it? At least how I used them. All I know is now my boat cranks consistently and I'll never be hand tightening battery terminals again. I figured contact is contact, but I was wrong. Maybe on my 25hp, but the 150 draws some amps.
