in a sense, basic electrical isnt far from plumbing. aside from complex cicuitry, one can view voltage as pressure in a pipe, current would be like the flow rate and the pipe size the is sort of like resistance. way better than i could ever explain here. http://science.howstuffworks.com/env...uestion501.htm

Lowe's has waterproof switches for $8 and change that I mounted on my yak and my mom's and they work just fine. I bought my lights from West Marine and I bought insulated connections, marine heat shrink and wire from an electrical supply store- better prices than WM

just remember, the more you add the more that can go wrong, maintenance, etc. Best to go KISS (keep it simple stupid) when you are starting out. good luck.

For bait tank lights you can just hang or drop a chemlight or lighted bobber in the tank. I been using these for hoopin and have gotten more than Four 6+ hour outings on one set of batteries.
