As mentioned already, measure the voltage drop in the cable. Just connect the negative meter lead to the batter post, and the positive lead to the starter switch, then see how many volts show on the meter while you are using the starter. 6 volts should show less then 1 volt, so set the meter on a low DC voltage.
