As a professional skipper I drive many different boats - unfortunately most of them with just a Voltmeter for the batteries.  
So I thought I could use the Victron Smart Shunt IP65 as a dismountable unit that I could take from boat to boat.  
Has anybody an idea for a simple connection of the shunt without cable pressing etc. etc.? Perhaps connection cables with a female and a male battery connector? Any idea would be appreciated.
