Invest in a GOOD crimper. Long handles equal less fatigue. A buddy that does industrial wiring told me to use connectors and heat shrink - not heat shrink connectors. The reason is you get better quality connectors and you can use the heat shrink with the adhesive adding to the strength of the connection. I also used coppercoat on the wires to keep a good connection in the crimp.

Good luck and have fun.

Well, after missing the Stripers I think I'm ready to get wet this weekend if the weather cooperates. New steering, control cables, and replaced the scuppers. Silly me, I thought these would be easy projects until I found the guy before me used some sort of fiberglass tube for the scuppers and really made a mess of the transmission linkage. I now have brass scupper tubes and redesigned the linkage and with any luck it will all work as it is supposed to.
