CRC is a manufacturer of many products - most designed to resist some
sort of corrosion. Here's the West Marine link for one of their
electrical products. I bought mine at the local marina. I said "CRC?"
they said "across from the wall". Pretty well known stuff - at least
in S. FL.

Last night I fixed the problem that I originally made a post for.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,
