  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

250-500cc Electrical question

Yes you can. On the other hand I'm more for a safer solution and wire a fuse or 2 in there since you run a pair of gadgets that eat power. Like 2 of these on the wire fuse holders will do.
At least it is protected and if needed you can isolate something if needed, just take the fuse out.
 
do not use those, they are corrosion city. they like to partially cut the copper in your wire as well. very bad news, and quite the lazy solution. best way would be stripping and soldering with heat shrink but thats alot of work. i would use the butt splice crimp connectors that have the heat shrink tubing built in. that way you can just strip, crimp, and heat.

only problem is theres one yellow power wire and several power wires for the other stuff to connect to the one power wire. Is there a connector that goes from one power wire that accepts several more like these or?
 
for the above splices, ive seen these bigger on one end to accept two wires, and smaller for one wire on the other.
below, there is also a cheaper way to do it where you can buy bare crimp connectors and heat shrink over them...i have never seen these 2 into 1 tho. you buy a bigger size and jam in what you needed and fill with solder tho.

theres these too, they take up a bit of room but should be able to find a home for them in your app. maybe install a fuse holder right off each one?

whats nice about all these heat shrink connectors is that when heated correctly (not melted) some glue will melted out of the end and thats when you know its water tight..
