As to replacing the cable after 13 years, why?*
*
I have seen corrosion travel up the cable. It was an 02 cable and I cut off almost 2 ft before*I found un-corroded wire.*
Just a thought on the next time you replace an end.
To strip it back a bit if the ends are not*the color of a new penny.
I follow a thought that if you can't solder to it. Replace it.
*I just don't think a butt splice will hold when solder won't.
Salt water and electrical. some times I'm amazed things work at all
