Butt splices are a simple way to repair or create a long-term electrical connection. They are easy to use and built for longevity. Seamless tinned butt splices are available in non-insulated only. How do you use seamless tinned butt splices? The first thing to do is cut and strip your wires to the proper length. Now, if you look inside the butt splice you will see there is an indentation. Insert your wire into the butt splice making sure it butts up to the indentation. Next, simply crimp using the proper tool. This guarantees the correct amount of pressure ensuring a solid connection. Now, simply repeat the process on the other side and you're done. Pacer would strongly recommend performing the tug test. This test ensures that the connection is solid. To do the test simply grab both wires coming out of the butt splice and gently tug two or three times.
When using seamless tinned butt splices, make sure you have properly stripped your wires to the correct length. When you look inside of the butt splice, you will see an indentation. Make sure your conductors butt up against that. Insert the wire making sure the insulation touches the butt splice. This reduces the risk of a weaker connection. Now, the splice is crimped with the proper tool. This crimp creates a solid connection. Next, repeat the process on the other side and perform the tug test to make sure that the wires don't pull out. This process creates a durable, lasting connection. Butt splices are used for their rapid installation and durability. Other methods of connection just don't offer the same level of protection.
So much better than the rubber ones I took off, easy install!

Where Have You Been All My Boating Life?
What a great little piece of tech - I don't know how we got by without it in the past. No more guessing how full the holding tank is or having to clean icky tank senders. This little bluetooth RADAR sending unit mounts on top of the tank and connects wirelessly to our Victron Cerbo.
Setup is super easy, push the button on the unit so it can calibrate to the tank then enable bluetooth and set up your rank dimensions on your Cerbo. It's as easy as that.
We've had it installed and running for about two weeks now and couldn't be more pleased (We like it enough that I ordered a second one for our water tank.)
Lots of wiring - no leaks! Be sure to run ALL the wires through BEFORE completing the run!

"Currently" super happy.
Installed on Yanmar 4JH57 engines with Zeus Controllers - HOLY WOW power. Losing some power at top end but overall very satisfied. Will do a long term review later. Talk about power - hope to never need my generator again!
