[Public-list] Mast wiring.....

[Cherry, Jim]

Unfortunately the cable was cut above the deck and not enough is left in
the mast to pull down below the deck or that's exactly what I'd do. Re
wiring the entire mast is another option next fall when the boat comes
out of the h2o but with the mast already stepped for this season I have
to find a solution that'll carry me til then. 
I'll check out the bluesea site.

Thanx.

Jim,

If the wires are long enough to go through the deck, I would terminate
them 
below decks with a terminal block. This would protect the connections
from 
failingdue to exposure. For the thru-deck connector I would use a Blue
Seas 
Cable Clam

I bought an A30 last fall and during the winter storage, the electrical
cable that runs from the panel to supply the mast lighting was cut where
it exits  the coach house roof  and goes up the mast. There are 8 small
wires in the bundle including a common ground that need to be
re-connected. They supply a masthead tri light, strobe light, anchor
light, steaming light and deck light. I'd like to repair it with a quick
disconnect/ reconnect system. The actual wires seem to be small to be
supplying some of the lights but the system seems to have worked.
Surprisingly the chandlerys that I've checked don't seem to carry
anything like this. There are 8 pin DIN type connectors in the
electronics supply stores but they caution that these connectors aren't
meant to carry loads that lights would draw.

Does anyone have any ideas ??
