Somethin' else that irks me with DA switches is you only get 14" of wire to work with.
No amount of heatshrink is going to fully protect the wires from saltwater.
Stupid DA

I thought there was such a thing as waterproof heatshrink? .. I'm not sure, I remember someone else mentioning that on the forum a few weeks ago though...

Nice work on the hanger!

I gather this was a bit misleading ...
I used heatshrink, and a heat gun, I just don't have faith in it being 100% water tight. I have various sizes and used the tightest fitting possible.
