Hello All,
I have called in all my favors from Electricians I know and I know just enough to get me in trouble and that’s where I am at now .
I am trying to hook up a WEST
MARINE double trumpet horn on a
catamaran.
It draws 8amps I think [ ?] when you push the button
It’s a 40ft run from the horn to the panel. I am using 12/2 . Is that heavy enough for that length of run.? I know there is an app for this but don’t know what the name is …Wizard something
In the middle of that run I am cutting into the hot [red] and taking another 12/2 up to the
helm for the button. SO one side of the 12/2 will go up to the button , when you press the button it will contact the other side back down to the original run .
Before I do this [ This is my second attempt ] I am looking for any
advice , guidance, etc so I don’t have to do it a third time .
Thank you in advance for any help …if anyones in
Key West and feels like having a
beer [38degrees ] and playing with DC let me know .
Tom
