Yeah, I'm with RidgeRunner on the wiring. Soldering and heat shrinking is the best longest lasting connection ever made. I know it takes a lot of time and patience but it is best.
I have also found that doing what you are doing is fine as long as you coat the crimp-ons with Liquid Electrical Tape. I like to open a new bottle for a few minutes before using it so it gets a little thicker to work with. Makes a darn good seal and looks pretty good. Have real good luck using it in the bilge area. I have seen many times the wiring in the bilge work, but not have any solid copper left inside of the insulation. It will be all soft a squishy and nothing but green goo left in it where copper used to be. It will also walk up the wire to the other end. Really nasty situation only remedied by pulling new wire.
Salt water is a real b$@#!
