Used all Ancor marine tinted copper wire and Ancor crimp and heat shrink connectors. A Blue Seas fuse block and new switch panel.There’s dielectric grease around every spade connector and every lug. A couple of things I wired straight to the battery have in line fuses with dielectric grease around the seal.Question though. You mentioned the connecting parts like the fuses them selves. I’ve seen and heard so many times not to put it on the circuit it self but use it to seal. Like using it on just the porcelain spark plugs. The reason given is dielectric grease does not conduct electricity and will effect the current.Then I hear that it’s a great conductor. Which one is correct? I have blade fuses installed 2 years ago I just put it around the seal and when I pull the cap off the grease is there and the fuses look new.But I’d really like to know if it conducts electricity well or does it effect the current? It’ll make me change the way I’ve been using it.</blockquote>
