wiring connections
« on: March 02, 2022, 06:27:26 AM »
hello,

 im getting close to wiring up my 82 170 and was wondering if anyone recommends using any anti corrosive agent on the connections to the instruments. i will be using terminations from west marine with heat shrink tubing built onto the connector. thanks again

I would make all your connections clean and tight and when you're finished then I would apply a little bit of Di-electric grease on top of the connections to seal them up.

You may also consider using a spray coating like Corrosion X or Fluid Film on the connections. I had very good and long lasting results with both when applied to my various gauge connections.

Good luck. :thumright:
