No one has anything to say about the tricolor thru-deck electrical connection and what should be used for a coaxial cable? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Honshells" <chonshell@ia4u.net> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2003 9:47 PM Subject: Thingamajigs and Doohickies Older M17 owners: If you have the tricolor running lights at the top of your mast, what do you call the thru-deck screw-in connection between the mast wiring and the boat wiring? Could a VHF coaxial cable also run through that same piece of hardware? If not, is there a different piece of hardware available that could be mounted in the same hole, but handle both the mast wiring and the coax? Or is my only recourse to add a second thru-deck screw-in connection for the coax? Thanks!
Craig, BuscaBrisas has two different fittings: one for the masthead light and a second for the coax. I've not seen nor heard of a dual plug, although that's not to say such a thing couldn't exist. Tod
I have separate connectors. I don't know of any other way to run electrical and coax.

I installed separate thru-hull connectors, too. Give some thought on where you place them. I thought I had a good plan only to discover too late that one was too far forward and occasionally captures the jib sheet. Stan M-15, #177, Carol II
