[QUOTE="mbweimar, post: 423377, member: 9884"] If I recall correctly, solder is a no-no in marine applications. I believe it has to do more with vibration than anything. That being said, I soldered several connections on my Weldbilt and had no issues in the 3 years I ran that boat. What I HAVE seen are called step down butt splices. They're non insulated, so obviously the beat solution would be to cover them with Heath shrink that has the adhesive sealant. A quick Google search of step down butt splices should get you going in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
