Hi guys! Thanks for watching! Check out how cheap these solder sleeves are: Solder Sleeves: amzn.to/2SMx3b7 - Amazon US or amzn.to/2AyY9LN - Amazon UK or amzn.to/2Mid1mw - Amazon Canada. 👍 This is a new kind of video for us. In our "Gear" videos, we will share products that we think you will love. N.B. Our integrity is NOT for sale. We will only recommend products that we have bought and think are brilliant, or products we would/will definitely buy ourselves. This is a win-win! You get to benefit from our hours of in-depth research and experience (We are very picky whenever we buy anything, and we often spend a ridiculous amount of time researching purchases before clicking the "buy now" button!) and if all Amazon's T's & C's are met, then we get a small % commission for having generated a sale - this costs you the buyer absolutely nothing - zilch - zero - nada - niente! Any income we generate will reduce the amount of time that I (Chris) spend offshore and that means more videos for you! Want to know more about my job or work history? 👉 www.linkedin.com/in/christopherbarruk Fair Winds! Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊👍
Thankyou for showing this. I always hated coming across wires that were just clipped together with connectors because people don't take the time to do it right. This application makes it so easy...wish I thought of it years ago. so simple an idea. sign me up. thank you!
That are pretty nice! Years ago i had a little pressurized tube of silicone with a small applicator tip that you push sideways to get the silicone to come out. The applicator tube was just smaller than a butt connecter, so before i crimped on the butt connecter i filled it up with silicone. Ever since then, probably 20 years, I've used this method for dirt bikes and now for sailboats. But now i slip on a piece of heat shrink, solder the wires, put silicone on the area, slide the heat shrink on and shrink it up. The extra silicone squeezes out as the tube shrinks, it's bullet proof! Well, water proof for sure:) Just wanted to let my secret out!
One of your best videos yet. I love the new intro it works great. The product information and product I will use. The expression on Emma's face was priceless. Safe travel you three.
Hey Chris - can't believe I had missed this one, what a fantastic connector definitely going to pick some up for the boat. I am re wiring the entire boat over winter and was looking on RUclips re mast wiring and other related wiring info when up you came. Being a loyal patron I can't believe I missed this one! and BTW the intro is a really nice version on this video :)
Hi Paul, glad you found this! Solder sleeves are excellent and depending on what you need to do they can save a lot of time. Thank you very much for your feedback here and support over on Patreon, we really appreciate you! Very best regards, Chris 👍
Just ordered a box from your link. Installing a second bilge pump and a few other electrical updates on board as soon as these winter temperatures moderate here in the Northeast U.S. Should come in handy for the wiring
I've had a quick look and there are patents for these from the 1960's, which is remarkable. I was glad to have discovered them (albeit late!) hence the share. Fair winds! Chris 👍
Absolutely brilliant idea. I have added solder sleeves to my wish list. Thanks so much for bringing these to my attention. They are much better than the crimp connectors I currently use.
We just started our sailing channel last week, and just found yours... and l just got the same connectors for Christmas... wish I found them 2 years ago when I was re-wiring the whole boat....
Hi there, good luck with your channel. It is probably a thousand times more work than you think it will be, but you get to 'meet' a bunch of fantastic like-minded people from all over the world... The solder sleeves are very handy and save a ton of time! Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
I just ordered a bunch of the solder sleeves. Thanks for the tip, they should save me a lot of time. If you get to Merritt island, Florida, I owe you a beer!
Hi there, that's great news you will love the solder sleeves! If not in Florida, hopefully we'll see you out on the water some time. It's a small world... Fair winds! Chris 👍
Hello SB. I agree with @Tom Barker and others--your new introduction is very handsome and the background on your expertise is helpful. I wish I had known about these soldering sleeves a few years ago when rewiring the engine. Many thanks for this useful info.
Hi Jack, thank you for your kind words. I wish I'd found them years ago too which is why I wanted to share this with others. What a great little invention! Fair winds, Chris (+ Rossella & Emma 😊)
Another great, practical and AFFORDABLE recommendation (on top of your battery and wet/dry vacuum choices that I've bought) I'll order some today!! Many thanks Chris!!
My pleasure! We are always looking for the best deals (the less money we spend the more time I get to stay at home with my family) and we are happy to share this information with others , whether that be without any affiliation (the batteries & the vac) or with! Cheers, Chris 👍 p.s. Are you happy with the battery & vac? We love ours!
Those are brilliant, not sure why I missed this video before but off to order through your link' well worth it. I was only using some crimp terminals this morning thinking what a load of rubbish they are and they corrode. Cheers. Andy UK
I bought Wago connectors, which I find so useful for temporary installations. They are far from being waterproof, but they feel quite strong when wires are connected . You can search then by "wago splicing connectors". Your soldering terminals also look very interesting, I will get some of them for more definitive installations. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Mark, we love our 🌟Patrons🌟 so thank you very much for your continued support! These "Gear" videos are not charged to our Patrons though, so you'll never pay for them. Very best regards, Chris, Rossella & Emma 👍😊👍
Team Britaly! (Ant) We have also been recommending these joints to our friends/sailing buddy's. They are especially good where boats are not fitted out from new with pre-tinned cables to marine grade, thats most modern boats. They stop any oxygenation of the copper at the joint and are moisture resistant . We had something similar in REME 20 years ago but technology and availability has moved on !! BTW looking at your sub footage, you may know one of our friends at Woods Hole Oceanographic? Will? He did the sub stuff on Titanic and lots of their other explorations. He's, also ex MOD. Sail safe. Ant and cid xx
Hi Ant & Cid! Yes, they are excellent for that as they are air & watertight. I have a vague memory of the Fairies (avionics) chaps having something like this, but I was a Mechanical Technician back then, concentrating on spanners and hammers and paying attention to anything electrical would have been borderline treasonous... :-) There are quite a few ex-forces guys offshore. I guess it's a similar lifestyle in some respects. I'm not sure if I've ever met Will but it is a small world so you never know. Fair winds! Chris (+ Rossella & Emma 😊)
@@SailingBritaly Small world indeed! Just , looking at a RUclips meet for the Med saiolors. Talisman, Ruby rose, These, (Thesis) Mothership adrift, Sailing Kittiwake. We are all in the same area in the spring. PM us if your interested.
That sounds absolutely wonderful and I'm sure it would be a great laugh too, but we've learnt our lesson: we are trying not to plan too far in advance and are 'going with the flow' a lot more now. We're on Emma time at the moment, so let's see where we get to in the coming months! 😂
Hello, you mentionned that in offshore environment these connectors are in an oil-field container - what oil do you use? Thank you for your great technical skill sharing!
The most common oil I've seen used in subsea electrical junction boxes is Tellus 32. There are many alternatives though and if you wanted to make a homemade version I believe even baby oil would work just fine... Cheers, Chris 👍
@@SailingBritaly thank you for your reply. I decided also to use liquid electical tape - although that stuff is quita killer it is written on it that '24 percent of the mixture consists of ingredients of unknown toxicity."... so the oil will protect me eventually, not the connectors..:)
If we're making up subsea cables we use potting compound. The procedure is to strip the cables, solder them as required (or use solder sleeves) place the soldered cables inside a potting mould, (after roughing up the insulation near the ends where they enter the mould) mix & pour in potting compound then remove the mould once set. Cables made like this will go well over a mile subsea without any problems at all...

Ordered! Hopefully you can get some $ back :) Probably shouldn't be used on high amps connections, as temps will melt it back.. Keep up the good work, Arrrgh from Sunny Florida!
Hi there, thank you! It's a teeny commission on a product like this but every little helps! 🙂 You don't have to worry about the solder melting in-service, the melting temperature is 135 Degrees Celcius (275 degrees Fahrenheit). Cables should never get that hot, even when sailing in the hottest climates. Thanks again and fair winds! Chris 👍

From a Google search it appears that it would have been pronounced 'Soder' in the British Isles a very long time ago and in this case it is us who have diverged from the continued historic pronunciation which has mostly been continued in North America, rather than the other way around.

I would describe someone saying the word soldering in a Scottish accent as 'sauldering', but I may be wrong on this (and there are lots of different accents within Scotland too!) To complicate things further you can also find an example like this gentleman ruclips.net/video/0jdAF4rOQ8w/видео.html who appears, from my limited knowledge of American accents, to be from the South of the US, and he appears to be saying soldering like I do!... I think this is one of those things where there may be no 'right answer', in which case, we're all correct! Cheers, Chris 👍
Shhhhhhh!!! Don't say they are inexpensive out loud! The distributors or vendors will hear you and they'll slap are "Marine Grade" label on them and mark them up 400% !!!!!
