I would soldier it together and make it all 12ga or all 10ga wire. Also check your relay sockets, the prefab ones we get here usually only have 14ga wire in the sockets, and 20amps on 14ga wire is pushing it..

Thanks Darryl,
I just checked the sockets and they are either 14 or 16 gauge, along with the fuse holders so im pretty sure thats one issue. Funny i bought a "30amp" fuse holder and it comes with 16 gauge wire?

I think im going to replace the fuses with circuit breakers so i can run 10 gauge wire and make my own sockets.

Is there a local place to buy the relay plugs and wire ends for them?

Paul they were actually 30 amp fuses i was mistaking.

SC-both pumps were checked out by aeromotive with in the last year but i would still like to know what kind of amperage they are pulling. I only have a Fluke 115 but im going to check the book and see if i can check amps with it.

Thanks
