    Re: looking for recommendations on marine electrical terminal connectors

    Well, Ancor yes, but... They don't make most of the tools and terminals they sell. Learn what pieces are required and buy accordingly. Klein makes excellent tools as do a couple of others. Make sure you use marine grade wire which is tinned, and adhesive lined heat shrink or heat shrink insulated terminals. But if you know what you're looking at you can often get the same products at a hardware store as at a marine store at a fraction of the price.

    I can second Sky's recommendation; used them a lot and made-in-USA matters.

    FYI, some of the Chinese wire products have smaller copper conductors (in spite of the gauge claimed) and make up the difference in diameter with extra insulation so one cannot tell from the outside.

    If you put on a crimp lug of the correct size, it will not take and simply fall off. Ask me how I know...
