[Public-List] Through deck connectors

[David Fay via Public-List]

Here’s what Tim Lackey did on my boat: http://www.lackeysailing.com/projects/blue-teal/ <http://www.lackeysailing.com/projects/blue-teal/> (see very bottom of the page)

He installed a through hull upside down to pass the mast wires through the deck into the v-berth. And he covered the wires above the deck with a rubber hose (sorry, no picture). The hose is taped at the mast hole and the deck-level through hull to keep out water. But I’m replacing the tape with hose clamps this year. We’ll see how well that works.
