[quote=Edchris177]Don't get hung up on nico press at one end, eye on the other. In many cases the nico pressed thimble on one end is to facilitate connection of 3 wires up at the mast hound. For the lower connections, the eye or fork are cleaner, but they do cost more.
Philip is right, the failure is generally due to what is known as crevice corrosion, especially in a saltwater enviroment. It happens at nearly a microscopic level, within the confines of the fitting, & you may not see anything unusual.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Edchris177 on Jul 05, 2011 - 09:36 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
