Hi, new user here, I posted yesterday but my post and login name had disappeared by today, hope nothing I did wrong..
I am looking for advice on routing thin wires round my Tug Bugsier3 for lighting.
I have 4 lights on the front mast, nav lights, interior and spotlight in the middle, and 3 lights on the rear mast.
Currently I was just going to use an 2x AA battery box with manual switch as I only have 2ch receiver.
The leads on my mini bulbs are not especially long.
I get the basic idea of how to wire lights, but searching for info on the best way to actually physically lay out the wiring in a way that doesn't look messy and what type of connectors to use or just solder everything fixed?
Do you use shrink wrap or something else on this thin wire?
What do you do if you need to change a bulb? relatively easily to unplug (or unscrew) wires and insert a new one, or more hassle to cut it off and resolder?
I imagine it be a real hassle if the light was in an awkward place, but I don't know the tricks of the trade. This is my first boat. I've made planes and cars before but I only did the minimum to get them working, the boat I want to look good.
I feel a bit embarrassed to ask these questions as I'm sure there must be lots of info out there, but I've been searching for a while and just not quite found what I've been looking for.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
thanks
Dave
