I got tired of seeing the boat trailer light cable take a beating, cuts, frays, shorts and rotting - so I took some used stainless steel fuel line and ran the new wire harness through the cable - works great.

Actually thats a very good idea. I may just have to order a few more feet of SS hose..

Good idea. I used some aircraft stuff I found at work.

Looks great. Just hope there are no barbs or shards sticking out of the hose. Could get old pricking your hands every time you hook your lights up.

Thanks for the compliment, the ss always looks good - but the reason was where the wire cable feed throught the neck of the trailer the old wire was taking a beating - ss feeds a couple of feet into the frame, no more cuts/breaks. I wrap the ss line with tape and use a dremel tool to cut it - never have a problem making clean cuts, however never had much luck with a hacksaw, ends always frayed and looked like a porkiepine.
