<div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">I've used both. A bulkhead connector and cable with the mateable plug on the tag end for the thru-hull penetrator, then a wet mateable fitting on the thruster itself. It makes changing a thruster very simple and keeps the clutter down, and might be a little cheaper when bought as a set.</font></div>

<div>More connector thoughts.</div>
<div>Would we be better off having penetrators rather than connectors?</div>
<div>I believe they taylor make these connectors / penetrators, so why not have a</div>
<div>penetrator for the through hull & a penetrator on the other end of the cable for </div>
<div>fitting straight on to the thruster. Perhaps a combination of penetrator &</div>
<div>connector to get through any exostructure that might be in the way.</div>
<div>I am not hot on this subject, just learning.</div>
