yeah, steveie, that is why crimped/then soldered has been the industry
requirement fot nearly four decades.

Your mistake to make, I guess. It will be an expensive one.

No mistake at all. Anyone who knows anything about electrical
connections will tell you that a properly soldered joint is electrically
superior to a crimped joint. And if it's properly supported, that
removes the one problem with a soldered joint, stress at the
stranded/solid junction. That's why the ABYC allows for soldered wiring
on boats if the there is another mechanical support to remove stress and
vibration on the solder junction.

I guess we should ask you where you got the idea that soldered wiring
will, in and of itself, cause a boat to fail an insurance survey despite
the ABYC allowing it? Especially when many boats pass insurance surveys
even if they don't meet all of the ABYC rules. In fact, it's a rare
boat indeed that doesn't violate any of the ABYC rules. One that meets
all of them is pretty much a gauranteed pass.
