Masthead i60 wind instrument cable installation - Daveb - 05-07-20 04:35 PM

I will be running a new cable to my masthead and have very little space in the conduit, certainly not enough for a connector. Do the cables arrive with connectors installed and if so, am I able to cut and spice the connector?

Hi Daveb,

Welcome to the forum,

Masthead transducer cable comes with bare ends for exactly that reason - to make the running of the cable in conduits easier. Depending on the length of the mast it may be necessary to install a terminal junction box at the base, below deck and then another cable to the instrument. Mount the terminal box somewhere that will not have water running into it and causing corrosion problems down the track.

Happy boating

Kind regards
Jules
