[Alberg30] Mast electrical connectors

[George Dinwiddie]

I'm not a fan of using connectors, there.  We've got a bulhead
mount for the antenna cable coming through the deck, but it's hard
to keep the water out.  For the electrical cables, I pass them
through the deck and connect them inside.  For passing them
through the deck, I use a "cable outlet" (go to 
http://www.myaffiliateprogram.com/u/sailnet/t.asp?id=1066 and
search on "cable outlet" to see what I mean).  They've got 
different sizes for different size cable.  I still use a bit
of silicone down inside for waterproofing.
