Looking for suggestion for hiding the electrical wire runs through the lockers. I'd use the p-clamps, but can't drill hull or locker side in my 19" AR195.
 
In my ski locker I wrapped the wires with HD velcro and stuck small pieces of the opposite velcro where I wanted them to hang out of the way. Easy to install, change and move if needed.
 
I used screw in zip tie holders as, for the most part, you can screw into most surfaces where wires are run.
 
There are 2 trick you can use. First, strap your pair of wires into the chuck of a cordless drill and spin them to make a "twisted pair". That way the wires stay together. Then you use adhesive tywrap-pads and tywarps, but with the adhesive pads, remove the very crappy stock adhesive tape and replace it with good epoxy and glue them in place. The JB weld 5 min epoxy putty works well and sticks to rough surfaces (read rough fiberglass) that stick tape won't. Always works and is permanent. If you don't replace the adhesive then they will fall off in a few weeks. Cam. 92439-ProductImageURL.jpg
