Still got to shrink wrap the connections but it's done and the TM is jammin now. Did drop one of the wires off in a 2" hole but thank goodness. I had one of the 2 foot long prong gripper, shoved it off in the hole and grabbed the wire. Knew I'd need that thing one day!!!
How you gonna put the shrink wrap on after you have already made the connections ? You have to slide the shrink wrap on the wire first before you make the connection.
Don't they make heat shrink tape? I thought I heard of it
Its all heat shrink but you have to be really careful or it will disappear!!!!!!!:RoflQuote:

Oh no
Good job Don Don
It don't melt It shrinks. I don't think it will fuse itself back together.Quote:

Don, you can get liquid tape at Harbor Freight and the shrink wrap too.Quote:

I like my salt water trips. My boat is a salt water bay boat. It's built for salt water
Was that today ? Knew should have showed up and held his green cup . Dang sorry dd . Couldn't you cut two equal pieces and over lap them from side to side and shrink it . Don't let them bother you dd . Lol
Now you ready!
Yep it's a saltwater boat. You have got it all figured out
