🔌 Function

Forms the connection between a conductor and its mating stud, connector or terminal block, and is the point at which most electrical faults on a boat eventually appear.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Intermittent operation, or no operation at all
• Corrosion or green deposit at the terminals
• High resistance across a connection that should be solid
• Heat discolouration, melted insulation or a burnt smell at the connection

🛠️ Service Notes

• Isolate the batteries before disconnecting anything, and label the leads as they come off
• Clean the terminals, make the connections tight and dry, and support the loom so it is not left hanging on the component
• Refit any seal, boot or gland that came with it — water getting in behind a connection is the usual reason it fails afloat
• Confirm the circuit behaves correctly, including any interlock or alarm function, before the engine goes back into service
