Hi Alex, We used a lot of those “remodel boxes” when I worked as an electrian. They will rust up good on you, and were designed for drywall. If your wall is to thick to use the back flange, just use metal shears, and cut them down. Not actually an easy job, a dremel cutter wheel might work easier, but make sparks-careful. A cheap blue plastic box from Home Depot might work better, it’s usually bigger indside too, and you can screw it into the wood you have, or add a scrap to screw into. You would be surprised how much stuff needs to be modified to work. Don’t get me started on plaster and lath walls.
Good luck, Lee > On Jan 27, 2018, at 6:36 11PM, Alex Giannelia via CnC-List > <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > > I am re-wiring my boat and bought some Marinco plastic outlet boxes (P/N > 6079) that were delivered with a metal guard that screws into the base and > has flanges that are too long to come out flush.
