    Dude...it's DC. You can even wire it backwards and it will work! I know you're a non-agricultural clemmons grad, but c'mon. You're giving the place a bad name...

    I would say a lack of current flow, but I'm just a nuclear engineer turned diesel mechanic turned surveyor.....

    Could it be that there is not enough wiring into the connection?

    Its easy. Do the correct prep work. Allow it to dry per the instructions.

    follow directions per box, not per lowes employee.

    good luck

    Is that where this quote came from in another thead.

    the only lights that are on when I am shrimping are my running lights. Then on the way back down the poles the courtesy lights come on to pick up shrimp. Then they are turned back off before the throwing begins again!!!

    You will be amazed at how well you can see ur poles with just running lights on!!! Will catch more shrimp too!!!!

    Order some rope lighting and I'll help you install it under the gunnels and be done with it. It would probably be a lot easier.
