good stuff. i enjoyed reading it. I invested in good crimpers and heat tubing equip for my projects. a couple wraps of the tape they sell at the boat show has also proven to be good for keeping the wires together.

When I received my Polar 27 WA in Sept, the Raymarine c120 and yamaha gauges were not wired correctly. I took apart the connections my self to get GPS data back into the yamaha gauges. The Polar connections were excellent and I replaced with crimping, heat shrink tubbing, and some tape.
