[QUOTE="airshot, post: 501910, member: 1183"] Because many people just finger tighten them, they have had issues of comming loose or making weak electrical connections. Many of the newer electronics can be cer sensative to rapid voltage changes, even to the point of destroying them. One big issue in a marine enviorment is a potential spark from a loose connection. Many water craft with motors have the potential of gathering fuel vapors in areas where batteries are stored. So sparks in a fuel vapor area is not a good idea !! Haveing them tight with a tool instead of just fingers ( or any nut type) reduces greatly the chance of a spark. [/QUOTE]
