TRailer wiring harness
Tried to install the new lights on my trailer only to find all the
wiring eaten up by corrosion and all the connectors on the trailer corroded. None of it was tinned wire. This is OEM wiring in an EZ Loader trailer so beware. So, Does anybody sell wiring harnesses with marine tinned wire or should I simply make my own? |

I have never seen a production one that didn't have that problem.. Like I said before, I just plan on buying a cheap set every year and replacing them... Usually about $25- 35, the Walmart ones last just as long as West Marine ones.. All the same ****... You buy a wiring harness for a trailer for a boat that sits rotting in your yard, full of leaves and raccoon ****? |

Looks like its gonna be Ancor tinned trailer wire and the adhesive lined supposedly salt waterproof heatshrink crimp connectors. The weak point will continue to be the lights but at least I will know my connections work. This should not be rocket science. Why is is it so difficult to make butt crimp connectors that are inserted in a snap cover filled with silicon? I do have the type of wire nuts that are waterproof (and expensive). They contain some gel stuff and am not sure they can be re-used. |

You might be tempted to use the trailer frame as a ground, but the way various bulbs are attached to the frame is the Achilles heal of the whole wiring setup. When you get to a launch ramp, get in the habit of unplugging the trailer wiring from the car and let the bulbs cool for a few minutes before launching. |

Here's another option: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...F8&me=&seller= When i bought my parts boat, the trailer was good but the lights were rotten. I took one of these,and mounted them portable. i towed the boat 135 mi at 55mph and the lights held in place . . I took them off and put them back on the shelf. you might consider this seeing you can remove them before launching and keep them out of the brine. |

The Dow 111 silicone works pretty good for sealing electrical stuff (similar to spark plug boot grease) but it is sold as a plumbing lube. I also use it to seal up PVC pipe joints that I want to be able to get apart. As long as you have fairly low pressure (drains and swimming pool supply pipes) it will hold. I use it for switching the 2" pipe back and forth between the grand kid's pool sliding board and the waterfall. I've only been able to find it in small quantities in the plumbing section at the big box hardware store. Have you seen it offered retail (or wholesale) in larger quantities? Is this an electrical warehouse item? |

The guys out on Pine Island swear by it if you coat the soldered joint and slide heat shrink over it, then shrink it down until the goo squeezes out. The theory is you start shrinking in the center working out to force out all the air bubbles and you get a totally sealed joint. Sounds like it might be worth a try. |

I used "sewn on" whipping when I used manila rope. The "real" whipping looks better than the "dip'n'whip," but I'm not so anal that I spend a lot of time thinking about the ends of lines. If they don't unravel, I'm happy with them. What do *YOU* use manila rope for. I'm a professional hangman, Ernie. I prefer manila because it leaves a really nice rope burn around the neck of those the state says I should execute. Plus, manila rope is less expensive than nylon rope, and we corporate entities have to save every dime in order to make our executive team richer. Now, "Ernie," I'm about finished with you. Go play with Snotty Ingersoll and the rest of the right-wing morons. |

Manila rope has a distinct advantage over nylon. What is it? I'll give you a minute to google the answer. |

The only big bucks Harry pulls down is when he robs his landlady's purse. Any talent, he might have had, has dried up in the last several years. His writing skills have devolved to the point that he steals material from Nom De Plume. |
