    need help with trailer wire clips or ideas

    Im re doing my boat trailer and the tubing which was used to run wires through has rusted out. I need a way to put up new ones or ideas on what to use. I want to get away from welding new tubing bc i think its prone to rusting. Im thinking of getting my trailer linex and if i use the metal trailer clips was afraid of the barb diging into the linex. Any ideas. also the clips are sharp and wiping down the trailer after each use could be dangerous just ask me how I know this. Thanks guys.

    I think you can spray on Linex or similar substance (bed liner) yourself. If you insist on running your wiring through a conduit, could you use PVC? You could/should grind down any leftover rusted out clips for safety and appearance. There are huge zipties available some as long as 3 feet ( I have some).

    Another option -
    As I HATE rust.. Use Aluminum tubing and aluminum or SS clamps along with SS hardware and mount it before you linex.
