[RI Swamp Yankee]

When I worked in Marine electronics the only type of lug we used were Burndy lugs with the proper crimp tool, then soldered properly and wrapped in black tape. They are nothing like the ones from the automotive stores. Done properly they would stand up in any salt water environment. Sometimes, in the bilge, we would add shrink wrap over the tape as a backup. My boss (the owner) had a wide reputation for quality installations on pleasure and commercial boats.
