Sample posts for photo duplication issue
Andy, If it helps any, I'm attaching several photos of how Ericson solved that problem on our boat. The mast base has an aluminum riser welded in place that must by 1" in diameter and 6" tall. Cables and wires are formed into a drip loop, then into the riser. Beneath that is a hole in the deck that lines up with the corner of the head compartment. There are two terminal strips on the compression post where everything electrical is attached. Note: That is a new mast base supplied by Le Fiell when I had the mast repainted. Given that the mast had not been pulled in seven years, the factory original had turned to white powder, thus the new one. I added 1/4" weep holes drilled on a 45° angle to port, aft and starboard with the thought that now salt water would have a way to run out of the new base before having a chance to do major damage. After all the modifications to the base, it got sent out to be anodized. The original terminal strip is above one that came with a Data Marine wind instrument, requiring a larger teak cover.
