Scotchloks work very reliably providing: 1. you are not trying to connect to an oversize wire, 2. you clamp them with a parallel closing pliers, like you find in the fishing equipment aisle, and 3. they are not subjected to any significant strain. I found that I had a bad habit of pulling the insulation past the end of the wire when I cut it, and there wasn’t enough metal in the insulation to get bit by the little blades inside.

I had to replace the GPS on my C80 system and used the Scotchlok connectors that came with it. Less than 6 months later my C80 became intermitant. I found that one of the Scotchlok connections was not good. Also a Raymarine tech on the help desk told me he did not like the Scotchlok connectors because of this problem. I thought they were a great idea until I had a problem. Hope yours are fine. Thanks for the great information.

That’s some diagram! Did you recycle all those connectors?
