Default Can I use Solid wire for rewiring sailboat if not WHY?

if a connection is properly engineered, I.E., the terminal and wire are
sized correctly, the breaker is sized correctly, and the post that the
terminal is connected to is the correct size, then the solder will not
melt before the breaker trips.


it does not "melt", dude. it softens to the point that the connection fails,
THEN it melts, because the connection is barely there.
