Hi,

I'm putting running lights in my 12ft aluminum skiff. I'm running the
wires through a harness and want to run it down the inside chine (don't
want it down the keel, and the gunwale is outside so can't really do it
there). How do I attach the plastic harness to the aluminum? I obviously
don't want to drill holes...

Why not drill? Fill the holes with a little RTV or silicone seal when
you put the screws in. :)

I assume you are putting the wires through a piece of plastic tubing
and want to secure that. to the hull.

As somebody else suggested, 3M 5200 if you don't ever want to move it
again, 3M 4200 if you do. Just clean the spots with a little steel
wool before applying the 3M goop.

Later,

Tom

.....and use small bolts with acorn nuts, so you don't have sharp bolt ends
on either side. West Marine (and plenty of others) carry this hardware in
stainless.
