I am using the same marine box you have. Don't even bother screwing those shitty little things into your floor. I went to summit racing and bought their battery kit. It comes with 20 feet of 2 gauge red, 3 feet of 2 gauge black, with battery terminals already on one end. It comes with 2 solder on ring terminals, a ground bolt with star washer, vinyl coated H bar, two J bolts, two 1" washers, two locking nuts, a batter spacer, little cable screw on tie downs, and its abotu 24 bucks plus shipping. Put the battery box where you want it (no, not over the gas tank, somewhere where you can get to the bolts. I put mine all the way back on the passenger side behind the wheel).
Then I drilled through the box and the floor, put the J bolts through the floor, through the H bracket, and tightened it all down. Then I bought the two screw in terminals and voila, remote battery kit. It sounds simple but with all the drilling and shit it took me a full day. plus I had a thunderstorm delay for a bit.
also for the solder on end terminals, with a solder gun you will be taking forever. Take a torch, heat the terminals, melt solder into them (they will be hot enough to keep it liquid), stick the stripped wire into them, then quench it in water. They will be connected better than a crimp or than with a soldering gun.
