[Alberg30] Mast electrical connectors

[Dave Terrell]

I rewired my boat this year and used two pole trailer connectors purchased from my local NAPA auto parts store to connect the anchor light and steaming light wires. They are small, fit tight and do not leak. An inexpensive fix, I think.  I used the already existing fittings and purchased a coax fitting for the vhf from west marine. (p. 96 in the catalogue) I used twist-on connectors  for the VHF. I used the existing holes in the boat and caulked them carefully and the leaking has stopped.

When I purchased #253 last summer the former owner had removed the  
electrical and antennae connectors from the cabin top and had run the wires 
through the head vent. Apparently this was done because of leaking problems. 
While this arrangement works,  it isn't to pretty and does create a tripping 
danger on the deck with the wires running from the mast to the vent. I'm 
looking for suggestions on the best connectors on the market as I want to 
install them  in the cabin top at the base of the mast.  Specific products 
and  part numbers would be helpful if anyone has them. Thanks.
