Hey Hammer...I noticed your bilge pump on other thread and was going to mention that you should re-do your wiring connection as Franco mentioned above. Don't know what you have under that tape but I'm guessing wires are just twisted together???

Hey Tin, I dont know the name of the connectors I used when I did my bildge pump. Each wire slid into a flexable platic connector with metal inside. I then crimped them and added that wet tape in a can, and then wrapped them in electrical tape.

Thanks Franco. I have 2 soldering irons as well. It's a plan.

I am also thinking that we're pretty close in years on the planet. 1955.

OK Hammer, not bad, would've been a bit better if used heatshrink instead of the tape but you should be OK for awhile, good job ;)

They do make crimp connectors with epoxy coated heatshring tubing, I kept a few on board for emergency repairs, they do a pretty good job, but soldering is best
