[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 383500, member: 15636"] Wow :shock: ... and I wonder why then that insurance companies, ABYC, the European equivalent thereof and the USCG find MORE boat fires and burned boats due to electrical fires caused by poor soldering technique? Ever hear of the Apollo 11 disaster? I'm glad it may work for you, but not for me .. A soldered joint hardens the juncture and makes it brittle. Recall ABYC standards also state that solder should not be the sole means of connection, or something to that effect. All wires must also be properly secured and routed too, to prevent vibration and chafe. Use cheap crimpers? Yup, you'll get a lousy result. So yes, there's some technique to good crimp techniques as well as the tooling. But I don't care if you're a NASA-certified solderer (yes, there IS such a certification process and ratings) ... stay away from my electrical connections, lol :D . But otherwise it is of my opinion that your advice or admonition against crimping is mistaken. [/QUOTE]
