Beacon Question??

Recommended Posts

I built a fishhouse 2 years ago. Only regret is I did not wire in a beacon to trip when the rattle reels go off. That way its legal to visit neighbors and still have lines down. So im trying to find a way to put it in now, though im thinkin its one of those things your learn from for next time and go without for now. But just wondering if anyone has any ideas. I already have magnetic trip sensors on every rattle reel, because they are the beeping still (no bells). I dont wanna run the wires up the wall or on the outside, that just wouldnt look real nice. bit im positive that the wall is to tight with the tounge and groove wood to snake the wires to the false ceiling. Though it maybe able to get done, i dont wanna find out when its too late and i cant fix my mistake. If anybody has an ideas, or more questions to ask to think about it a little more that would be greatly appreciated!!!

I just bought a fish house that didn't come with hole lights. I didn't want to have to strip back all the paneling either. I ran exterior wiring through some plastic channel that snaps together and wired up all my hole lights. The channel has tape backing to hold it in place, or you could nail it on using standard cable nail holders. This channel is sold at menards or any of the other home improvement stores. I believe wire mold is the name of the supplier of the channel. Runs about $1/foot.

Another option would be to cut some small strips of cedar and cut grooves inside to run wire. Nail those strips to the wall to hide the wire as it runs along.
