[Public-list] Mast Wiring Connectors/Main Halyard Sheaves

[Cole, Andrew L]

I've just finished taking the mast down for the first time.  In the
process I discovered that the mast had been hard-wired to the boat, and
we had to cut the wires in order to take it down.

I am now looking for a means to connect two wires at the deck, one two
conductor and one three conductor.  West marine sells a five conductor
Aqua Signal setup that looks fairly substantial, possibly more
substantial (bigger) than I'm really looking for.  Does anyone have a
preferred waterproof plug/affixation method for this application?

Thanks,

Andrew

P.S. Test sheave two went in earlier this week without any issues and
fits perfectly.  I will get the checks assembled and confirm the final
order on the list before sending everything out.  The line halyard I
chose was a 5/16ths, 3/8ths would probably work just fine as well, but I
felt it was more windage and unnecessary weight aloft for a fairly minor
gain in handling ease at deck level.  Just my comments for those who
intend to switch to rope with the change.
