... I wonder if B&G had some "quirky" problems with the connection that they were using a few years ago, as JS describes, and then went back to a tried and true connection that seemed to work well?
B&G makes great instruments, but I have seen problems with some of their connectors.

That's the same one Scott and I have. With luck, the only problem is the spring clamp popped off and the cable came loose. Good Luck!
Well, I guess I have no luck...
Went up the mast this morning and the connection feels secure. Hard to tell for sure, since I can only get up far enough to reach my hand to the top of the masthead. It was plugged n and not wiggly. Fortunately I don't need wind info to sail on my small inland lake. I'll fix it when I instep the mast come October.
Thanks to everyone for your advice!
