Is it waterproof? Will it work with 40 feet of 14 gage wiring to boat batteries in boat house?

yes the unit is waterproof. you can build anything you want beyond the panel as long as you have a voltage regulator and your electrical system and panel(s) are working on the same voltage. EX: 1 panel, 1 12V regulator for 12V system; 2 panels, 1 24V regulator for 24V system unless you charge EACH 12v battery in a series then you need 2 12V regulators.

It is water "resistant" (if you mean weatherproof, then yes very much) 40' of 14 Ga. should present no problem at all, since at 30 W. you will be drawing a maximum of Approx. 2 amps. This panel is very well made and works very well. Hope this helps

I'm sorry but I'm unable to answer your question, I purchased this product to splice in a new bow light & depth/fish finder to my boat witch is connected to a fuse box that's connected to a 12V Marine Battery!! Try contacting the seller of the 20ga 25' Red/Black Hookup Wire 12V DC, I would imagine they would be able to supply the answer to your question!!!

i don't have any idea if it is waterproof. i have mine inside a garage and it works just fine.

yes, cord is water resistant, but if your power supply connection will be exposed to elements then you might want to wrap it in electrical tape. I have it mounted outdoors under roof eves and its fine

It's not waterproof if that's what you're asking, but otherwise YES. I bought it specifically to use on camping trips as an on-site electrical source and for inside my tent. Worked great! I even connected it to a longer extension cord at times. No heat output so that's good. Hope this helps!

It is not waterproof. The connections are subject to corrosion whether it is buried or not.

It's not what you would called water proof but it is designed to be in marine environment and exposed to saltwater. It will hold up to being wet without corroding. It is a very nice fuse box and is holding up great on my boat in saltwater and gets wet and stays wet for long periods. The cover is just to protect from impact and covers the wire lugs if you don't have covers on connecter.

Hello,Yes. You would use these to connect the two ends of wire to ensure a waterproof connection.

I am not sure about wiring into the boats system but I have used an extension cord directly home house current very satisfactorily. I would think that if you are wiring directly into the boat's power system, you would want to put it on a separate fused circuit.

I use mine on my boat to keep the battery charged between trips (no shore power). The cables measure 8 feet but I lose some distance getting to the battery in the battery well of the boat. Mine has been out in the weather for a year and still works great. I'm still trying to find a better way to carry it out into the gulf on the boat when I go fishing.

I would think so. As with all electric connections you want to be as waterproof as possible. I've haven't had any problems with the unit so far in my application. A remote computer room

The 15 ft tethered float switch itself is rated for wet installation, so yes, it can go outdoors. The alarm module will need to be installed indoors or in a weather/wet tight box if you intend to use it outside. If you will use it in that manner be sure the power receptacle is weather protected in the same weather/wet tight box. On a related note make sure the alarm module is located where it can be heard. Mine is in the lowest level of my condo in a room below the stairs, but I can still hear it on the third level when I tested the system. It works quite well.

seems to me they come with about 3-4 feet of wire. The wire is insulated, and submersible, but I'd avoid putting the connection underwater. Even with heat-shrink, it's bound to fail eventually if you do.

It's been a while since I installed it but I think it was about 2-3 feet? The assembly can come apart so installing your own waterproof cable into it shouldn't be too hard. Fyi, it's a great light, I've got 3 of them around the house now.

The power source it self is not waterproof,however if you keep it in or under a dry and cool area then yes you can use it out doors. You will have to waterproof the power source and your connection your self.Hope this helps and good luck

I cannot answer as to whether the light is waterproof or not but I do not hesitate to use it in wet conditions. There is an o-ring between the battery and bulb sections which seems to keep moisture out of the light.
