I don't have spare. I need to buy more at the next hamfest.

But for marine use -- some caveats.

1) Best to use crimp connectors, not solder.

2) Heat-shrink sleeving over the crimped ferrule.

2) *especially* -- look for self-sealing tape to wrap where the
wire enters the connector, and over the whole area where the
connector goes into the antenna at that end of things. this is
important enough on an antenna on a tower where it gets rained
on, but our where salt water is involved -- even mores so.

Good Luck
