[QUOTE="Kris, post: 390574, member: 18614"] I always run my electrical wires thru a tube built into the hull by manufacturer or through conduit. I usually use PVC pipe and then paint to match the boat but now going to use electrical conduit. The plus is that it is made to be in the sunlight. PVC gets brittle without paint or some other protection from sunlight. Drawback to electrical conduit is the lack of small, inexpensive Ts. Most I have found are more expensive water proof boxes. So I will start running the wires through a hole drilled in the side and drill holes in the bottom for drainage of condensation if needed. I also install with some drop to the stern so that any standing water will roll to the back and exit a larger drilled hole. I do cap the end to keep flying things from using it as a home. [/QUOTE]
