  • Page 38: Electrical Installation

    Electrical Installation 4.1 Installation of deck gland and connection box The connection box makes it easier to disconnect the Furlex from the boat. It is usually placed in the anchor box. It has sealing inserts prepared for three cables on each side. Position it as high as possible.
  • Page 39 Position the connection as high as possible in the anchor box. Adjust the length of the cables so that a loop is formed as shown. This will create a lowest point of the cables preventing water from running towards the connection box. Cut the cables and feed them through the cable gland nut and the rubber seal insert.
