I put this fuse holder in at the beginning of the season. It was placed to replace one that suffered the same fate (But took longer). I ascribed the failure of the original to the PO using an automotive not marine part. I got this at a local chandlery and assumed it would do better. When I lost power to the dashboard I pulled the battery out and went for the fuse holder. It fell apart in my hands. The one wire just crumbled off the end. The inside was as you see it. My crimps seemed ok and I had to cut it off. I don't understand why it went bad so fast.
