How to attach new wiring?

#1 Post by tucker0104 » Sun May 31, 2015 10:14 am

I am running some new wiring for docking lights on my boat. What does everyone use to attach the wires to the bottom of the boat to keep them from sagging?

Little plastic eyelets and short sheet metal screws. You can find the eyelets at most auto, marine or hardware centers....

Ditto, nylon eyelets secured with stainless sheet metal screws. Also don't forget wire loom-plenty of sharp edges underneath a pontoon.

Available in many sizes in white or black nylon from hardware, electrical or auto parts stores. For trailers, I just use dabs of silicone, with th wires held in place with painters tape until the silicone dries.

The UV rated cable ties with mount holes are a quick and easy way too...
