  • The most common mounting location of the LED Pontoon and Fishing Boat Docking Lights part # TN23ZR on a pontoon boat is on top of the deck at the outside corners facing out.

  • Where to Ground Docking Lights On a Jon Boat
  • On a boat you would want to ground docking lights # DL-16CC to the negative battery terminal. You will want the connections to be water tight as best as you can. Shrink tubing, electrical tape, and even liquid electrical tape # SWC50122 will help protect electrical connections from water. You can also use dielectric grease, # 11755, between electrical connections. This special grease is hydrophobic so it will repel moisture.

  • Wiring Switch of Halogen Docking Light Kit DL-16CC
  • The switch has 3 terminals, ground, power in, power out. The power out terminal will be split to the 2 different lights in kit # DL-16CC. The pin on the top of the switch runs to the ground, the middle pin supplies power for the lights, and the bottom pin is for the power supply wire and goes to the fuse box or the positive post of a battery. (See image.)

  • Wiring the Switch for the Halogen Docking Light Kit
  • Since the switch only has the 3 terminals, ground, power in, power out, only the power out would be split to the 2 different lights in kit # DL-16CC. There only needs to be one ground (negative) at the negative battery terminal and there is just the one 12 volt power source coming from the positive battery terminal.

  • Correct Grounding Location for Halogen Docking Lights
  • Since the switch is lighting up, but the lights aren't coming on, it sounds like you have your power wires correct, but the problem is with the ground wire on your Halogen Docking Lights # DL-16CC. The black wire from the lights is the ground wire for the lights. There are a few ways you can go about grounding your lights. You could run a wire from each light's ground wire to the negative post on your battery, or ground it to the steel frame. You can use a ring terminal, like # DW05705-1,...

  • I reached out to Jif Marine and if you use a marine grade adhesive on the # JIF56VR it will likely hold up when paired with the screws on the top. However, this has not been tested so there are no guarantees.

  • How to Power an Electric Winch on a Trailer Pulled By a 2017 Subaru Forester
  • You do have a few options to get an electric winch, like the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm # TW4015, working, but the 4 Flat will not be able to do so alone. The first will be to add a battery to the trailer. This will usually be my suggestion, but as you do not have brakes on the trailer and it is for a boat trailer, it will not be the best way to go. What I suggest doing is upping your 4 Flat to a 5 Round, both on the trailer and vehicle. The Pollak 5-Pole # PK11502 for the vehicle side,...
