resist taking advantage of their offer of a roll of "premium" vinyl black
electrical tape. 7 bucks a roll.

we had a short that killed the engine -- we seperated the wires out
(plastic
melted after touching a manifold) the closest marina was "Narrows Marina"
at
day island.

Now I like these guys; they're nice -- friendly, and fuel prices are
reasonable.
the electrical tape -- $15.99

yes; I bought it.

He-he-he.

I never had the 'Whatever Is On Sale for $0.50/Roll Inferior Quality Not
Recommended' grade electrical tape fail me.

It is what it is.........what is important is the quality of the electrical
connection, not the tape. ;-)

Well -- Why would I buy a 70 cent roll of tape when I have a 16 dollar roll???
Mine MUST be better.

We were underway; and didn't want to abandon our trip to go home.... If I had
been home, there was a couple of rolls in the trunk of the car.... But I'd have
spent that much in fuel to go home to get it...

Best. Electrical. Tape. Ever.

That's my $16 roll I bought.

but I can't tell the difference between that and my el-cheapo @ home...

You will with two or three years of exposure at 100 feet in the air
exposed to the elements.

Indeed, it is! And, if you must.... you can coat with this:

All my antenna connections were taped and coated with that stuff.

I also used a putty like sealant I got from Radio Shack of all places.
That stuff worked great.

I often use an orange colored tape from Radio Shack that seals an electrical
connection as tight as heat shrink tube.

Somewhere in my radio shack junk/spare parts drawer, I have shrink

Doesn't work all that well. :)
