Ive tried the old ford starter relay but as you know they get hot fast and go out. whats the best one to use that can stay one for a long time and not get hot???

I've been using one of these for about a month drawing a continuous 50 amps and so far so good. Rated 100 amp 400 amp inrush. Price isn't too bad either.

My personal choice for overall safety & reliability is a Cole Hersee Marine heavy duty weatherproof 85A solenoid.

Here is a link to their catalog.
