The VHF Radio I just bought has a male/female pin plug on either wire. Do I need to keep these plugs or can I simply cut them off and wire straight to the main fuse bar/box ?

I'm thinking I can but want to make certain before I start cutting.

many thanx..:)

Re: VHF Wires

You can certainly cut them off, but then how are you going to remove the unit from the boat without unwiring it each time?

Re: VHF Wires

The fuse panel has either screw terminals or spade terminal connections. You disconnect them the same way you connected them. Plugs are not necessary and actually invite corrosion.
