the four coroners of the fishing area of the boat i had fitted stainless cig holders for plugging in squid lights,electric reel ,etc . i have found that moisture creeps into the insulation area and dries out and leaves salt. after a period of time they short.
any ideas on what type of connection to go to. i just found it strange as these were marine fittings
Hi All,
I have regularly carried a WICEN Radio Operator and his gear on my boats when acting as a safety boat for events such as the Red Cross Murray Marathon, and the Southern 80 Ski Race.
WICEN (Wireless Institute Civil Emergency Network) operators are all Ham Radio guys, and they (we) use what we call "T-Plugs" - or polarized low voltage plugs (and sockets) which are available from caravan accessory outlets, and various other electronics stores)
They look exactly like a domestic 240Volt plug, except that instead of 3 pins, they only have 2, arranged in the shape of a letter T.
WICEN wire them with the Negative to the top of the Tee (as in 'minus'), and the Positive to the vertical part of the tee. (This is actually incorrect according to electrical wiring protocols, which say that the active pin is the circumferential one,
and the earth pin is the radial one)
They perform exceptionally well, because thay have a much larger contact surface on their pins/sockets, than the cigarette lighter type.
I use them for all 12 volt accessories, and also as INPUTS for the battery charger for both my batteries in the Whittley. (Saves crawling around on the floor with alligator clips in hand)
