[PSUBS-MAILIST] elec thru hulls

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Brian,
I am not an expert, but I use a small gas torch on the heavy stuff.  
Just heat the rod & wire up well first. Hank or someone else with experience
might want to comment, but I would wind the wire around the rod & 
solder it then cut back any excess wire sticking up after soldering.
