Alternative may be to have the terminal soldered in place,,,,,,,,but it need to be done by someone who knows what they are doing to get it right..... :shock:

Having seen the corrosion that occurs in boat wiring I would never advocate crimping any wiring connections - all mine are soldered from the smallest to the largest(battery terminals). (those stupid plastic shrouds on the commonly available spade and ring terminals come straight off and solder applied) Crimped terminals are the best source of electrical problems after those damn scotchlock things.
