For the ultimate I've soldered, put some silicon on, and then covered
with heat shrink. Shrink it and then wipe off the excess silicon.


Good for landscape wiring, but I think the OP was talking about boat wiring.
My understanding is that solder connections are not recommended on a boat
due to the potential of vibration and shock loads breaking the resultant
stiff connection.
