For CRC try an automotive supply store. Don't remember or never knew what
CRC stands for but the letters are commonly used to ask for the item in the
automotive trade.

Dielectric grease is another critter. In effect it is grease with high
resistance to current flow, or high dielectric strength. Perhaps it is good
stuff?? But, seems to me we want to decrease the resistance in our circuits
rather than increase it?

Last night I fixed the problem that I originally made a post for. I
had done some hasty rewiring out on the water, and did not hook wires
back up correctly. The lesson I learned was:

"If FOUR wires are connected to a battery terminal, you pull them all
off and then reconnect THREE of the wires back to the terminal (leaving
one wire hanging) ... things may not operate on your boat as expected.

Oh well - dumb mistake. But dumb mistakes add up to experience. I
sure won't make this mistake again.

By the way - at my local West Marine I asked about "CRC" that was
mentioned above. The folks at WM did not have a clue what I was
talking about. I bought a small tube of dielectric silicone, which I
assume is similar. I believe I know what CRC is - isn't it that red
tinted gel that is on boat wire connections? Is there another name for
this product? Or a manufacturer's name?

Thanks,
