Ancor Heavy Duty Ring Lug, 8 AWG, 5/16 in. Stud, 2-Pack

Description

• Sized for 8 AWG cable on a 5/16 in. stud, two per pack
• Tinned annealed copper resists salt and damp
• Closed-end barrel with no seam, for a solid crimp

These are the battery-end lugs for 8 AWG trolling motor leads and 8/2 duplex cable. Check your battery’s terminal before you order: 5/16 in. and 3/8 in. studs are both common, and a lug on the wrong stud won’t sit flat or tighten properly. One thing to know: the Bluewater trolling motor breakers take 1/4 in. lugs, so the breaker end of the run needs a different size. Crimp with a proper lug crimper, then seal with adhesive heat shrink; our crimping guide walks through it. Wire sizes for common motors are in our trolling motor battery guide.

Good fit if: You’re putting 8 AWG leads or 8/2 duplex on a battery with a 5/16 in. stud.

Not the pick if: Your stud is 3/8 in. (get the 252236), your cable is 6 AWG, or this is the breaker end (Bluewater breakers take 1/4 in.).
