Re: Online source for marine electrical components

Me again.
Have done a few boat re-wires, and found 2.5mm artic grade tinned cable to be easy to get from B&Q type stores
You could also try "Kojaycat Vehicle Wiring" on Ebay.

All the best

DC Voltage Relay

Helllllllp New to this, but hope there is someone out there that can help me find a voltage / current sensitive relay for 24 volt operation, an adjustable DC Voltage Relay with 0 to 255 second time delay. These things are available in the US, but cannot find them in UK. I want to use the spare juce ...
