[Rhodes22-list] recommendations for mast electrical wiring routing

[Lowe, Rob]

Gary,
The mast connection is via a 4 pin electrical connector that is located just to the starboard of the mast.  It should be similar to this:

The attached photo shows (barely) the connector from my old boat, it's in the background of this photo as well as the connector for the VHF antenna. - rob

Hi,

 

I have a new to me Rhodes 22 (1978) that I'm currently rewiring among other things. This particular boat has no deck fittings for electrical connection of the mast circuits like steaming and anchor lights. I'm not sure how the previous owners provided power to these circuits as most of the wiring was gone when I bought the boat. I have replaced all the mast wiring and lights with LED versions and added a spreader light and a VHF antenna. I plan to add thru deck electrical connectors but I am curious how other Rhodes 22's are wired for mast circuits. Any suggestions.

 

Regards,

 

Gary
