T&T: 12 Volt connectors

An easy alternative to quick disconnect terminals is a screw connector
terminal strip located in a spot convenient to the pump, but "high and dry",
also sprayed with corrosion resistant coating of choice.  Has worked for me
for years.

When I acquire a spare pump I just put the appropriate connectors on its
leads, with heat shrink.  Replacement is then very quick and easy.
