[Rhodes22-list] recommendations for mast electrical wiring routing

[Gary Novotny]

Rob,

This is what I would have expected to be already on the deck near the mast
step. I'm not sure how the previous owner(s) powered the mast lights. Anyway
this is what I'll probably do. Drill through deck, install thru hull
connectors and hide the wires as they come thru the liner with some kind of
chase on the bathroom ceiling. Thanks for the pic, you confirmed what I
expected.

Regards 
Gary

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. -

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
