3M is highly regarded, you can get them in heat shrink with adhesive, which is the gold standard as far as I know. https://www.3mcanada.ca/3M/en_CA/p/d/v000195661/ On Sun, Oct 30, 2022 at 11:06 AM Joel Delamirande via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > What brand or how do I recognize hi

To avoid problems of wires falling off of terminals.  I use high quality crimp connectors. Try to avoid the spade connector.  I also use the heat shrink type in all wet and engine room connections.  I also use a quality crimping tool.  Doug Mountjoy sv Rebecca Leah C & C Landfall 39Port Orchard Y

I can sympathize with you Dave, which I will elaborate on. As far as your situation, it seems like They should be eye terminals. Probably with an elastic stopnut on the solenoid.

I took the boot off and tried to loosen the collar on the outside, but no luck. That is why I am not sure there isn't some hidden trick. Sprayed it with PB Blaster and will try again next time I am on the boat. It is possible that the PO put a different push button in, but I can't find anythi

Hi David, That back up nut on the backside will loosen it up if you can get at it. As an alternative you can cut the rubber boot off and grab the outside metal with a pair of vice grips or something similar. Sounds like it is no good anyway so tearing it up shouldn't be a problem. Regarding dif
