Abstract
A structure is provided that applies support to wiring such as heat trace wiring to the joints and elbows of a marine arm allowing enough flexibility to avoid significant friction in the wiring while accommodating movement of the joints. A removable insulation blanket having internal retention members of wire positioning is wrapped around the joints of the marine arm and the wiring is looped outside the insulation blanket and over the joints to prevent unnecessary friction rubbing of the wiring due to joint movement.
