There are stainless steel end terminals made for aircraft that would work well. The terminal ends are not expensive but the tool to swage them on is. The terminals are a few dollars each but the Kearney Swager to install them is almost $4000. If you know the exact length of cable needed you can go to a marine rigging shop and have them made up. You might need to take the boat and have the ends done in place. BTW I have had good luck with Nicopress in many thousands of miles of ocean sailing but they do need to be watched for problems. michael dkruger_at_pacifier.com wrote: > Re: crimping: does anyone know of crimps which are NOT copper?
