resist taking advantage of their offer of a roll of "premium" vinyl
black
electrical tape. 7 bucks a roll.


we had a short that killed the engine -- we seperated the wires out
(plastic
melted after touching a manifold) the closest marina was "Narrows
Marina" at
day island.

Now I like these guys; they're nice -- friendly, and fuel prices are
reasonable.
the electrical tape -- $15.99

yes; I bought it.

He-he-he.

I never had the 'Whatever Is On Sale for $0.50/Roll Inferior Quality Not
Recommended' grade electrical tape fail me.

It is what it is.........what is important is the quality of the electrical
connection, not the tape. ;-)

You will with two or three years of exposure at 100 feet in the air
exposed to the elements.

You mean to tell me I'll come to fully appreciate $16 electrical tape? I mean;
I'm already appreciative of it becuase it kept us boating that day... so it was
worth it -- but "in the scope of things" it's not worth it.

For boats PVC tape is better. After you tape it, put a little PVC pipe glue
on the tape, and it will be welded solid and not let any water in. Works as
well as liquid tape on the trailer light connections.

I've done that on trailer connections. The only problem is that pvc
pipe "glue" is actually an aromatic solvent which means it's "gluing"
action is actually a way to melt the plastic to make the seal.

I'm not sure that's a great idea.

Great idea for those trailer connectors that get dunked.

Maybe you didn't read it correctly.
Duck Electrical Tape.
A duck is an aquatic, or marine bird.
That's marine tape there. Good stuff for da boat.
But Navy tape would be better.
