Except for the starter, of course. :roll:

I'd suggest a single wire connector; made for automotive use in various sizes, available at any car parts store. I always crimp and then solder. This requires removing some on the insulation around the crimp and the "sealing" with shrink tubing.

If you want something REALLY solid (and semi-permanent) get a butt splice connector. Crimp both sides, solder and sleeve.
I like soldering myself being an old school electronics technician that started out with vacume tubes. However in this case I really want to put on some thing I can get apart easy. I'm thinking insulated bullet connector and pack it full of dielectric grease to keep the water out.
