[QUOTE="Mojo, post: 128907, member: 2642"] I Have to throw out a word of caution to the set up Russ talked about. If you have the light socket strait wired to the battery and are just relying on plugging it in to complete the circuit your one bad wave away from a short circuit. If it's not switched and you don't have an inline fuse then any water that gets into that socket will complete the circuit and pull max amperage from your battery. At best it would just melt the wires. At worst you would have a fire onboard when those wires get red hot and set something on fire. Put an inline fuse in everything in a boat, or at least put a switch in line. It's not that much trouble. [/QUOTE]
