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 have a Flojet Macerator. What I found that worked best for me was to use a Harbor Freight Power Pack. Around $100 after a 20% off coupon. Just use the booster cables, a clear 45 degree fitting so you can see the discharge, a 1" diameter garden hose and you're all set. Easy and portable. If you already have a power pack, even better. I always use my black tank flush after getting rid of the "contents" until it runs clear. It takes me about an hour but well worth the time spent to be able to do it from home.
