E7D Plug Spicing

[mswanicke]

I am installing an E7D in a Navpod on a 1" binacle guard. There are two plugs on the end of the power cord for the E7D. One is the 7amp fuse holder and the other is the video input plug. Both of these are too large to fit through the binacle guard 7/8inch [censored] and make a 90 degree turn down the guard. Can these plugs be cut and spliced to get the power cord through the binacle guard?

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum mswanicke,

While it is certainly possible to cut and then re-splice the MFD's Power/NMEA 0183/Video Input Cable, it does require more advanced skills. You may want to consider leaving the cable coiled and then making your power/NMEA/Video connections to this cable inside of the pod rather than below deck.
