Ira--

Not by a longshot.  Marine cable is thicker in OD than most battery or
welding cable gauge for gauge as the jacketting is heavier and the strands
themselves are heavier as well: the strands are tinned and there are less
of them but they are of larger OD, making for a somewhat increased diameter
for the wire bundle even before the heavier jacketing.  I have marine
battery cables and wire on my car.

The greater the cable the less electrical resistance.  Probably overkill,
but you already spent the money.  Just install it and forget about it.

              the strands are tinned and there are less of them but they
              are of larger OD, making for a somewhat increased diameter

              <div dir="ltr">so I decided to replace my long battery
                cable. I bought what was purported to be 4 gauge wire,
                but it looked kinda thin, so I decided to buy some
                marine grade cable with the starter end crimped. It came
                as a much bigger cable about the size of my thumb in
                diameter.  I was planning to replace all of the p clips
                with coated ones as it rubbed the insulation off. So am
                I out $100 on a too thick cable?
