[C320-list] In-Mast Wiring Question

[bruceheyman at cox.net]

Doug,
Do you have a Fry's near you?  If so they may have a reasonable selection.
Another possibility is to install a terminal strip inside a water proof junction box.  That way you have a way to protect the connections plus have access through out the season should you need it.

My boat requires that the mast be taken down each year for storage.  The
wiring for the instruments, which run up the mast must be disconnected at
the base of the mast for this purpose.  The wires are very small gauge and
the quick connects that have been used are for larger wires.  Consequently I
have experienced loss of a gauge for a season on more than one occasion when
a connection is not made properly.  Does anyone know where to get connectors
made for these small wires that are reliable?  Even Radio Shack was of no
help.

Thanks...  Doug Stieber, Second Chance #406
