radiator fans
electronic ignition (gonna move it)
various other bits n pieces then need reconnecting after I pulled the dashboard out

I'd use crimps, and either seal with tape or heatshrink. I don't like solder on cars - have seen it corrode over time.

Agree with that, I have a really good crimper, but only use the cheap crimps.

Interesting about putting some anti-corroding gel on crimps, [FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']especially [/FONT]in the boat, which brand do you use and where can I get some from ? also the good crimp's where can you buy them from over the web ?
