A life in the connector biz tells me to look at military or heavy industry.

If I had a deck stepped mast in salt water this is what I would use, and
probably rather than a chassis mount connector On deck I would wire a female
pigtail thru a cable gland fixed to the deck. (On a boat like a C&C anyway -
easier. On a bluewater cruiser I would terminate inside an enclosure). Find a
friend in the electrical field.
My 33-2 has a keel stepped mast and I used a terminal block under the setee.
The boat wiring has ring terminals left attached to the block, and the mast
wiring (mast removed spring and fall) has flanged fork terminals. Easy to
remove but won't fall off if the Terminal screw loosens.

Mark,
I have fought with the mast wiring problem on my 25 ever since I bought it
in 1999. I have three cables coming from the mast, VHF coax, mast lights and
wind instruments.
Because it is deck stepped there are only a few products that can be used
and none of the ones I tried worked for more than a couple years before the
contacts corroded beyond cleaning or the crew stepped on the connector while
racing. I also got rid of the original C&C wiring leading into the deck and
sealed off that leak point into the core.
Finally a couple years ago I saw these
https://www.bluesea.com/products/1003/CableClam_1.40in and the problem was
solved.
In my future boat anything removable that needs to go through the deck will
have one of these.
