So you're saying their soldering skills leave a yacht to be desired. You should compile and post these techtips and call them charticles.

Excellent article!  In the sailboat world the myth of soldering crimped
connections is healthy and thriving, it drives me nuts.  But that is
what you get with a large DIY crowd and some dockside "experts"...

Thanks Steve.

John,

After looking around a bit, you really shouldn't solder a crimped
connection, you could very well be compromising the crimp itself, and
cause more problems than if you just left the crimp alone (assuming it
was a proper crimp to begin with). Here's a article from Jim Dunbar a
Product Manager for Terminals and Splices, and Senior Product Engineer
Tom Michielutti of Tyco that spells it out:

Look down at the bottom of page 4...

John,

I always thought that you didn't solder a crimped connection. But if
this is a requirement, then probably the best way to go about this is to
get yourself an American Beauty...

An American Beauty Resistance soldering unit that is, a model 10577
ought to do the trick:

There's even a Youtube video of it in action:

Ok, we need to solder the lugs (after crimping) for a 535MCM DLO Cable.

What's the easiest way to do this?



Thanks,



John
