T&T: 12 Volt connectors

[Vance Nelson]

I like to "hard wire" where ever I can.  I use solder and shrink tube.  This 
minimizes any corrosion problems with connectors.  Leave enough slack in the 
line to be able to cut and resolder if the line is attached to a pig tail on 
the pumps.  It really does not take any longer to solder connections than to 
do the crimps - well not much longer and you are usually not replacing on a 
regular basis.
