I also use the zip tie mounts pictured above. They have been on for over a year and I have had no problems. Always be sure to use wire with no tears or cuts in the sheathing. Also terminate all connections so that they are completely waterproof, as the corrosion will migrate up or down the wires into your equipment. Liquid tape and waterproof deck connectors work great for this. And dielectric grease is a must! You can purchase ties and mounts at Fry's in different sizes and colors. Home Depot also had a few but they were overpriced and in small selection to sizes and types. I purchase my deck connector's over the internet. and marine goop can be purchased at Home Depot, Lowe's, Dixieline, Ace Hardware, West Marine and almost all kayak and boating stores.
