Cleaning up wiring

[nick232]

To the masters of all that floats,

I am waiting for my sundeck fiberglass to cure and while it's off I thought i would tidy up the engine compartment. I have a couple 8 gauge power wires and a 2 gauge ground wire that i need to get clipped up on the side of the hull. What can i use as far as clips? The hull seams really thin in this area so screwing clips in wont work. Any ideas?

You might be able to attach a piece of wood or pvc with resin/epoxy to attach wites to.

You can get these adhesive backed pads (they accept any size zip tie) at Radio Shack.

The blue plastic conduit can be found at any Home Depot, etc.

That looks clean Rocky! How good do the adhesive clips hold with the plastic conduit?

The ones with just the wireing are doing fine.

The conduit had a few come loose...so I just went back and used a dab of glue on them, and they are there for the duration!
