Yes, use a ratcheting crimper and double crimp fittings with adhesive lined
shrink tubing if you want the best. You can get aircraft mil spec terminals
and tools here if you're interested. No financial connection to the company,
just a satisfied customer. DON'T solder!

Hi,

In my quest for the "perfect" marine electrical connection, I've heard
and read a variety of opinions.

In general, most sources agree on the majority of subjects (tinned
wire/connectors, correct sizing, etc...)

However, when it comes to the subject of whether to solder connections
or not, it seems that there is some disagreement.

Are high quality mechanical connections, made with the proper tool, and
protected with adhesive heat shrink enough?

Some think that it isn't.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Mike.

Ever notice how people that tell you to calm down are the ones who got you
mad in the first place?
