Hi Ian M,
I agree with Jansens comments, have done a lot of Marine and Truck instillations and NO Soldering.
Main reason because a crimped joint spreads the individual strands and they make a much better contact .
were as a soldered joint can be what is termed a Dry joint ie the solder is not making a good contact either between the strands or the fitting leading to over heating.
The same reasoning can apply to NOT soldering wires going into junction boxes .
