Re: Getting on with boat re-build
No worries Col, Connectors, the larger lug connectors I've used are always tin coated copper and sourced them from various places, same as you've mentioned. The smaller gauge crimp connections, I still have a stash I "sourced" from my previous employer Kodak, some 15 years ago. They closed down the ...

Re: Getting on with boat re-build
Thanks Col I will need to read up more ( I should have already before installing ). I just wired it all up - including the 4 way battery isolation switch.

Re: expensive insurance this is why

Its not something I would risk with a BMT on the back. Which state was this accident ? Maybe at 110 he’s under the limit but still,, n...
