This does not sound like a split-bolt to me. It sounds like a Polaris connector without the outer rubber coating.
I will agree, 8 wraps of regular electrical tape is not enough. You do need rubber tape than regular vinyl tape. No one uses friction tape anymore.

Also, #6AL IS good for 50 amps. This is unless it is older TW type wire. If it is pretty recent wire than you are fine at 50A.
