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.

Place I have been dealing with for over 30 years.
tin copper wire, fuse holders, LED's, etc. They have
everything. Neet place to visit if you ever go to
Orlando. I-4 and Fairbanks Ave. The one with the flying
saucer sign. http://www.skycraftsurplus.com/index...S&Category=153

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.
