Console Rigging

I need to put the power wires and transducer cable for my radio, gps and compass through the console top for connections and routing to the stern. There were several holes drilled through which I closed up. This was a mess and must have allowed any water on the console top down into the compartment. I have a stainless part for this type of application by seachoice but its a 3/8" opening which is to small. I guess I could use a 90 degree 3/4" through hull to get wire / cables through and keep water out. How have you all done this ? I'm getting close to my first voyage. Thanks again for all your help ! Pete

Run the wire thru them and then seal them with either clear or black caulk. On my t-top they used a clam shell to cover the holes and then filled it with clear caulk once all the wires had been pulled. Worked fine.

They used to come with a rubber gasket but I used a bit of 4200 to seal them up. Edited for correct manufacture..see below Edited by Jeff on 04/09/07 - 3:46 PM 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive

You can find these in any marine hardware store or bait shop around here in as they are made in Michigan. They Come in Single and Double wire pulls and in both Black and White. I am not sure if they are a common stocked item in other geo's though . I know you can order them online however, if you need them quick let me know and I can see what I can do. http://www.bigjon.com/store/list.asp?...ductID=107 [img]http://www.bigjon.com/images/products/webCC103.jpg[/img] BTW The image I had posted above was a product West Marine makes however I like the Big John product much better. Sorry for the run around. Edited by Jeff on 04/09/07 - 3:53 PM 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive
