Nice post, Jim - especially the part about being comfortable (if such a thing is possible while working on a boat!). In the past I had several connections fail ibecause I was in such an uncomfortable postion and couldn't see what I was doing. Additionally, and probably even more critically, I was using the cheap boxed crimping set that is usually found in auto parts stores - with junk crimping pliers that aren't worth the plastic box they come in.
A few years ago I bought GOOD ratchet-type crimping pliers, GOOD wire strippers, and GOOD side/cutters. As good tools always do, it made everything far easier and much more secure. A bit over $100 will buy all three of these and it's cheap at twice the price if you do any electrical work yourself.
