I don't even have a boat, but I find this fascinating and cannot wait to find out how the new connectors work.
... Am I OK? Why is this so interesting!?

@fipaddict these things that ooze a sort of gel when heatgunned.

Our new solar power strategy is use longer wires, and make all the connections indoors, instead of using "waterproof" terminals outdoors.

misread that as MC Solaar. Brief confusion ensued.

@klardotsh keep as much below deck as you can, anything outside will leak and not last.

@klardotsh when we do haulout in sidney together, if you need MC4 connectors we'll give you a bunch

@khm I'll give them a try if I come across some 😀

As I had some trouble aquiering those plugs in the first place, I ended up by soldering those wires together, which lasted for 10+ years on the top of my car. I did not have to deal with salty water though.
