[C320-list] In-Mast Wiring Question

[alahlm at comcast.net]

Brian 



   I soldered and sealed with what we call DR tape (it's a waterproof tape)      when droping the mast we lift it about a foot and disconnect the tv coax,vhf coax, and the trailer conn. for grd. steaming, anchor, and deck light     the wind rotor is also connected the same way and this has worked well since 98

Al: 

Doug's problem is also mine.  There is no Pep Boys in Ottawa, but in the 
past I have been known to visit Canadian Tire. My memory is that the trailer 
connections they sell come with a multi-wire tail attached to the plug. Did 
you also have this, and then you soldered/sealed the Catalina wires to these 
tails? 

This is a task needing addressing this spring, as in the fall the service 
provider managed to separate some of the connectors from their wires during 
the mast-down process.
