Amp Ratings of Marine 2-Position Battery Switch

Question

Question:

Hello, In the description, max intermittent and continuous amps are listed as 300 and 200 respectively. However, in the photo of the rear of the switch it appears the printing on the switch has those values as 500 and 300 amps. Am I reading that correctly? Also, what size please are the studs for the cable connections? Thank you.
