Hi Victor, I had assumed you were only soldering the terminal ends. When you do that it is a solid wire up to ware the strands have no solder. Because the wires are flexing all the time it can be a braking point.
If this is a code requirement and you do solder your ends and there is a problem, the insurance company may reject your claim. I agree soldering is usually the best in non-marine insulation or repairs. Will get back to you later when I look it up. Have a nice day Capt Perry -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of flitebuilder Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2008 8:32 AM To: UnifliteWorld Subject: [UnifliteWorld] Re: Wiring Diagram and Updates Regarding the soldering issue. i am only soldering the ring terminals onto the end of the wires. Also I have read the USCG regulations for wiring and find no mention of : "to solder or not to solder" In all of my electrical past I have always been taught that a soldered connection is much better than a mechanical connection (crimp). If any one has any other thoughts on this I would love to discuss.
