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
