Hey guys,
I picked up my new boat this weekend and am planning my attack on running wires from the roof of my boat into my cab. I have radar, compass and VHF to bring in. What is the standard practice for this? It’s my first time owning a hard top.
Secondly, if I have to drill into my roof, the smaller hole the better. Would you suggest cutting the wires to keep the hole smaller and then splicing/soldering them back together inside the cab and shrink wrapping them? The radar has actually 2 cables so the hole size will be pretty big if I don’t cut them.
I have 3M 5200, would that be a good sealant for the holes in the roof?
Thanks in advance, I have a LOT of work to do.
