flojet macerator questions

Trying to decide how to set up Flojet macerator pump. I need to make an extension cord and it looks like I will need 10 ga wire for a 15 ft. run. Any suggestions on what type of connections to use? It comes with sae to sae quick disconnect but I can't seem to find a pre-made cord in 10ga. that is 15ft. long.
Does anyone know what size wire is used on the cord that comes with the macerator?
I was also told to make sure to use the backflush as the reduced size of the outlet slows the flow and can leave stuff in the tank. So I was thinking that maybe I could run my stinky 3" hose to where my batteries are and hook flojet at end of hose. I would do away with the need for a dc extension and maybe have better flow out of the tank to the macerator. Any thoughts?

I bought a pair of 12g SAE connectors (12g for 6 inches is not a problem) and made my own 10g cord.

Using the backflush is a good idea. Instead of that, I use my tank rinse to achieve the same result.

Running the stinky as the initial stage won't help unless you have enough length to take the entire contents of the tank. All you will do is have the tank dump a couple of gallons of "stuff" into the stinky, then slow down to the same rate it would be if you had the Flojet directly on the outlet. Only, now, the backflush does no good, whatsoever.
