Hmmm. Since you have now cut a slot to fit the wires ino the base, the rubber seal and the compression piece, it strikes me that there is not much left in the way of waterproof integrity. Out comes the goop?

I understood the challenge to be how to seal the holes with the wires already run. Hence the goop suggestion. Rich Knowles Indigo.

You can add and change wires over time, and they're *totally* waterproof. Heck, two of them handle wires from my solar panels, which pass through the deck by a stanchion base. Probably the wettest place on the boat when sailing in any kind of swell. > > Wal > > [email protected] wrote: >> What is the easiest, semi-permanent solution to seal the hole with the cable in it. > > > -- > s/v Stella Blue > http://www.wbryant.com/ > > > _______________________________________________ > This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album > http://www.cncphotoalbum.com [email protected] _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/ [email protected] _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/ [email protected] _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/ [email protected] _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/ [email protected] _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com [email protected]
