MeandSuzy1 Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share #34 Posted June 19, 2022 Does anyone know as to whether the holes in pic (square ones) need to be left available or can I block them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanyed Posted June 19, 2022 Share #35 Posted June 19, 2022 Assuming the round holes, which really should be six or eight sided, are for the pumps and the square holes are for the bitt pins, why would you want to block them? Your photo shows you have the contemporary drawings. Do you have the deck drawings as well? https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-86459 has all of them.

MeandSuzy1 Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share #52 Posted June 25, 2022 These lights are great ,but to not see wires is ticklish. I had to run a couple right on rib 😩 so I'll have to put a laminate on both sides of rib..one side not to see plywood and the back to bury wire..oh well GrandpaPhil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeandSuzy1 Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share #53 Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) OOOKAY for anyone who wants large amount. Like upwards of 6. Guys ya gotta run them wires ,and let me tell ya...OMG..I've flipped this puppy more times than Sunday AM eggs.... EDIT::::I just became aware of something very useful..simple yet useful..I was trying to run these micro wires everywhere.Meaning I needed the $ of all longer wires and trying to wrap 18 ends 9 red 9 black...so this AM I went out to shop..got 2 lengths of 24 gauge. Drilled 1/8 holes in ribs for it to go full length..then I marked on it where each nano wire came out. Stripped.put back in and wrapped the nano wires around where appropriate. Now my battery and switch are just at one end.. not worried bout juice cause 9 wee wires would easily use 1 24g Edited June 26, 2022 by MeandSuzy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
