Ah... you're going to need to clarify... It sounds like you want to extend a trim switch... that's only one foot long... can you elaborate?

marineman pontoon lift switch for motor brand name shorelander liftmate. ill try wheel rubber wheel driven by motor control up and down switch. what iwant to do is put the up and down control where the pontoon come to rest to lift so wind and waves dont move it around it also has a reset and fault for safety?

marineman again this runs on 110 would a splice be good or do i need to run new wire from motor to switch? if so how ? thanks castindad

I think I know what your asking. You want to move a switch on your boat lift. I don't see a problem with a splice at the switch as long as its protected. I'd imagine your wiring is routed through a tube frame and a hole in that frame where the switch is mounted. You could leave that switch and add your wires to that switchs terminals and route the wires to another switch. Or you can take the switch out and splice on longer wires and route to a new location. You'll then make a cover at the switchs old location.

I understand now... thanks for the clarification...

What Frank provided for advice is the route I'd take...
