radar installation on mast

[Mark Maulden]

assuming I get my engine running, my next project is to put a radar at spreader level. Any ideas on how to run added wiring under the cabin sole and keep it out of the bilge? Thought of running some pvc conduit but how to secure it midway between the mast step and bilge access hatch between nav sta and galley sink. Keeping mind you can't reach it underneath the sole.....

Buy the radar first, then take a look at the cable, before you decide where to route it, its a big heavy cable, with factorty fitted fittings on each end, that have about eight individual wires going into them, its not a little delicate computer cable.

Mark next time we are up at out boat I'll snap some pics. Everything in our bilge is in conduit. I can't say how it was fastened though since I didn't commit that to memory. I would think a U type bracket but we will see next time the snow melts. SC
