Same friend got a new kicker outboard and throttle control and wanted his iTroll installed again and won't think about going without iTroll.
This is my second time to install iTroll and it went much quicker.
Then I renewed clean electrical contacts throughout the boat. The boat goes into saltwater in Canada, so I use my methods to not have corrosion on electrical.
My favorite from growing up with boats on the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic is to solder everything that can be soldered.
I prefer soldered watertight splices with self-vulcanizing rubber over connectors for everything that doesn't need to be taken apart frequently which in the case of my friend are his downriggers, so I took the receptacles apart and cleaned them and put in freshly soldered wires with an electrical contact grease with corrosion inhibitors.
