The mechanical connection I'm referring to is the connection from the 2/00 buss cable and the #6 or #8 wire taps. The description I understood, was to "tin" the buss cable and "tin" the tap wire and stick them together with solder. I would feel better with the # 6 or #8 wrapped around the 2/00 buss cable several times and soldered or some type of approved mechanical clamp on connector and anti-ox grease. Norm has an electrical back ground and untold experience in ships and electricity and I consider him an authority so I don't question his method, but from my experience, a solder connection without a wrap or mechanical connection is possibly a problem, especially in high current conditions or environments with vibrations or movement.
