run a separate wire from the boat to the pedestal, and if so how do we

Also can anyone suggest the cheapest place to get a plug like that? So
far the
best price I've found is $68.18 he

Thank you for any help!

The plug is 10-20 bucks at home depot or lowes, Scottys whatever you
have. It's a dryer plug basically... As to the wiring, I forget but I
have a book I always use when I do the wiring.. It was about 20
bucks at
home depot, I have had it for as long as I have owned a house...


Yikes! It's NOT a dryer plug, basically or otherwise.



Not to knock Scotty but I got a big kick out of his statement, "As to
the wiring, I forget but I have a book I always use when I do the
wiring".

I think Scott should limit his wiring to 12 volt devices. Whoops. I
take that back. My oldest grandson recently got his first car and
(like all teenagers) was installing a sound system that included a
massive bass speaker cabinet and a dedicated, 1200 watt amplifier to
drive it. He was wiring the power to the amp with some small gauge
"hook up" wire that he bought. I explained to him that he only had 12
volts +/- available and if the amp was capable of 1200 watts, he could
be drawing close to 100 peak amps at times and his little hookup wire
was going to act like a fuse. Got him some appropriately sized wire.



Wow, such a hero, you da man that's for sure..... Do you feel better

I hopefully feel better for the original poster who asked the question.
People like you who shoot your mouth off about things you know nothing
about can be dangerous to one's health and safety.

He admitted To Wayne he gave a wrong answer, and shouldn't have.
No need to keep insulting him.

You are right of course. I was responding more to his snarky comment,

"Wow, such a hero, you da man that's for sure..... Do you feel better
about yourself now?"

and his "snerks".

Got sucked in again.

I made the point to Scott that the OP's question involved more than
what kind of plug is used.

Oh brother.... you get sucked in a lot. At least you are fair and

Sorry Scott, but you respond to Harry's posts on a regular and daily
basis. I didn't question the fact that you have him filtered. I
simply stated that you still respond to his posts based on what you see
quoted in other people's posts.

Why are you so intent on making a regular fool of yourself?

Why do you feel like it's your place to point that out? Am I the only

Plonk away. Thanks.

I'll fully expect to see your comments on anything I have to say regardless.

That's not true. Richard knows far more about electricity and how it
works than I shall ever know, even with the help of google.
Interestingly, though, both of us know when to bring in a licensed
electrician.
