Default Battery Mounted Cutoff Switch?

I'm planning to install battery switches in my two 787-powered machines. Rather than use a pigtail between the battery and the switch, I'd love to use one like this:



I like that it's entirely self-contained and that no extra cables are required. However, the only ones I've been able to find are intended for traditional automotive batteries with those post-style connectors. I haven't found any for use with the motorcycle-style "screw down" connectors on ATV (and jetski, and motorcycle) batteries.

Has anyone seen something like this for the batteries our machines use? Or an even better idea for quickly connecting and disconnecting the battery when the machine isn't going to be used for a week or more? It's getting old digging in there with a screwdriver.

Thanks!

What about something like this...

Granted you will have to use a different bolt than comes with it..also there may be size constraints..

Also there are post adapters that screw in making the battery a post type if you have room for them.
What I would do though is mount one of the drag car style(Moroso,Taylor) remote switches..wouldn't be that hard at all... All you need is the switch and a couple connectors in line in a battery cable..then it would be as simple and turning the switch.

Yep, that's exactly the type of product I hoped someone manufactured. Thanks for the link!
