Good source for solderless connectors ???
 
Some place where you dont need to purchase connectors in gross amounts !!! and less expensive than our favorite marine store !!

I have one source …but curious what else is out there

www.bestboatwire.com

I purchased all of my wire and connectors and saved at least 50% off what I could have gotten it for locally.

If you feel the need to use Ancor products and dont feel like being bent over hard by Worst Marine then this place has really good prices.

Scott.. I use a lot of them in my shop installing gear. But what I found that works the best is..I use the the cheapies from HD, I pull the plastic part off and use a inch peice of heat shrink. Makes a tigher fit plus they pull better in the tubes.

Scott,

Lowes sells bulk packs of the heat shrink/glue filled butt connectors. They seem identical to the more expensive Ancor brands.

As an added safety measure, I put a piece of heat shrink tubing on them when I am done.

Thanks everyone

Great suggestions and some good ideas

I like bestboat ... but the shipping charges can shock you [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] ... the wire is pretty nice
