Mooooooose da Man ! , Great Idea that is ! haha
ya i wondered if i would get better range with the solder type but just not the case, maybe go that route when we build the bigger boat.
ya well it is gold plated if that makes a difference, don’t think he would steer me wrong , i also have the original solder connector in my boat bag with solder and a mini torch so worst case ontario i could change it on the water but the connection seems fine.. dunno are the crimp connectors really that bad? don’t think he was trying to skip a 5 min step and the VHF works fine.
Definitely Not ! Moose has always helped me out a hugh amont , with me being in the mainland even , Great guy to get er done if you need help!
Absolutely, we had him wire our whole boat and most likely have him do the big boat we are planning in a couple years. will keep the spare just in case but it has worked flawlessly so far.
I would recommend him to anyone, he's a nema2000 Genius, seriously, I took my problem to 4 of the most reputable marine electronics shops (no names mentioned) and none of them figured it out. Over a long distance call to Moose , he had it figured out and walked me threw it, been working ever since. And it was free, he never asked for a cent . I've called him a few times with little things and he couldnt make it to the mainland but always figured it out for me before hanging up . Straight Up Guy ...Give him a call at 250-668-3821 , last number I got and least I can do , call him
I used to support Boeing Electrical Engineering & was an Electronics tech for a while. Each Boeing airplane has thousands of miles of wiring; they crimp; it takes less skill to get a good crimp versus a good solder, the crimp connection bonds metal-to-metal at the molecular level , and the crimp connection is less brittle, making it more vibration resistant. You really need to use a proper crimping tool versus pliers/wire cutters.
