Where can I buy this trunking stuff?

[ridgy]

Looks ideal for taming wires to the switch panels.

Do you mean plastic trunking in general? Any electrical factors.

Cable Trunking | Trunking | Screwfix

Not sure about that specific type with holes in the side though.

Trunking ... I despair of boat systems ....

I have two boats now that need wiring sorted .... all looks nice and neat with tied back - clipped wires - but they disappear behind panels etc. If the installer had used tubing behind the panels - then there would be no need to remove panels .. cables could be drawn with 'mouse lines' attached etc etc .. new cables pulled through ...

Yes it's specifically the holes, I've got loads of the normal stuff.

Or maybe you have a branch of CEF nearby where you could pick some up...

I like the ones where they cable tied 1000 wires together, then fed them through somewhere, now i just need to remove one......

Even better, boats like one i worked on where the wiring to the mast, including radar etc, was fitted between cabinetry and the hull, before the deck was fitted. The head lining was moulded in and it was totally impossible to replace the radar wiring.

Another lovely item ..... people who insist on using cheap supermarket insulating tape to secure cables together .... fine until it starts to peel ... and then the gooey adhesive gets everywhere when you have to remove it ... especially if used round engine bay !
