Potential leakage via cable conduit

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Been on our boat this week (350#45) to determine location for instruments and discovered that the conduit for the compass light, under the hatch of the rudderhead, is nicely sealed on one side, but the other side under the pedestal is open, so in case of water in the cockpit this will enter the boat via the conduit. It won't be much, but it will be salt!
I'll seal it with self vulcanizing tape, but please check the conduit on your 350!
All & all it's a small thing that can be easily prevented.

Regards, Rob
