Question:
What gauge wire goes the STL37RB have? I would like to be able to order the proper size heat shrink tubing or the proper size heat shrink butt connector? Is it okay to use crimp connections on boat trailer lights? Thanks for any info

Expert Reply:
You would need the heat shrink tubing for 18 to 14 gauge wire # DW05452 for trailer tail light # STL37RB. On a boat trailer I would not use crimp style connectors like butt connectors because the chance that a wire could pull out due to broken strands is enough of a deterrent for me personally.
I would make the splices needed, then use some liquid electrical tape, # SWC50122, and follow that up with the heat shrink tubing. That would ensure a tight, waterproof connection.
