[C320-list] In-Mast Wiring Question

[John Frost]

That is how Catalina did it for the light circuits in 2007. It is an inexpensive but rugged connector design for 12 volt power wiring

Happy Sailing!

  I also take my mast down each year.   i went to Pep Boys and purchased a male and female water proof trailer connection and spliced all my wires to this and it has worked well for 10 years

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.
