Correct. Mine were not tinned. I didn't replace with tinned; just used auto
parts. But the originals lasted 40yrs in fresh water so these should
definitely outlast me.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL

Ron — were the conductors in the battery cables bare copper (not tinned)?
There’s good chance that was the result of the batteries outgassing; the gas is
corrosive. That’s part of the reason (along with salt corrosion) that ABYC
requires tinned strands in marine-grade wiring.
