Thanks, I did find that one. Good methods in that post from Randy. I was looking for specific references to the through deck fittings. Right now just the wire goes through the mast step and is vulnerable to being crushed. Bill On Thu, Jan 14, 2010 at 11:58 AM, <gilasailr@aol.com> wrote:

Mast light electrical and VHF wiring comes up throught the mast step. Electrical has been crushed and chafed during mast stepping. I will replace. I am thinking of moving the wires aft of the step. Will still bring it up throught the compression post, then exit out the back side of the post and through the deck at that point. I have seen some deck fittings for this (maybe Blue-Sea?). Has anyone else relocated the wiring like this?

Any suggestions on connectors that work well for them? www.?

I searched the archives first before asking this.

Thanks
