Do any of you h40.5 owners have a photo of the mast base plate that sits on the cabin top? It will show the plate with drain hole and hole into the cabin for the mast wiring. Also if you have a photo of the inside of the cabin that shows how far the PVC wire tube extends into the cabin please share.
Do you know the thickness of the deck?
I have a leak that appears to drip off of the wires when I spray the bottom of the mast with a hose. This doesn't make sense to me if the PVC wire tube sits proud of the cabin top inside of the mast step. Nor is it obvious how water sprayed at the outside of the mast at the bottom could get inside to drip out of the wires. All of this was disturbed last year when I pulled the mast. I wasn't present when the mast was re-stepped so I am not sure of the PVC tube position. I do know from a picture I took that the PVC tube is 1.5" in diameter and 2.75" long. The tube was installed with 1" under the deck. Depending upon the thickness if the deck I think the topof the PVC tube should be at least 1" above the deck inside of the mast step. This is what I am trying to confirm.
