<div dir="ltr"><div>Jon, I know this is a DIY group and we like to do it our selves AMAP to cut cost but for me, there areas like when we put holes in the boat that is makes sense to buy it off the shelf. Thanks to you, we have a wonderful 10% discount with Subconn products through MacArtney. The guy I have dealt with for the last several years is Jacobo Aguilar (<a href="mailto:jag@macartney.com">jag@macartney.com</a>) is great. What I do is work up an excel spreadsheet of the parts I need and send it to him and request the psubs discount and he handles it with no problems. I realize that most folks first reaction is that subsea penetrators... expensive. But I have found the Subconn parts that I have purchased to be reasonable. As an example, I am working with a group of ME students on a project to develop a new variable pitch propeller for my boat and a test rig measure the bollard thrust. They needed a Subonn 50A inline subsea connector to made with my existing thruster bulkhead fitting I use. The cost for the part (Subconn ILB2F) was $66.35 plus $9.72 for the DLSB locking sleeve. MacArtney's web site has the best documentation for the Subconn products.</div><div><br></div><div>To me there enough DIY required on all the other 10,000 things you have to do to build a boat so for making holes in the hull for electrical penetrations, I vote for Off-The-.Shelf.</div><div><br></div><div>Cliff</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Feb 6, 2016 at 9:51 AM, Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>
Anyone have a home-brewed design for electrical thru-hull that I can adapt for the K-boat?<br>
