NMEA Connections

[TimC2520]

Do you think this is overkill and would it work?
Those heat shrink quick disconnects for that size wire is a royal PITA!

Its not overkill, and it'll work. I still install fork terminals... its a PITA, but worth it if you ever have to reconfigure. You can also cut those bus bars apart and use them separately. We've got 4 sets in the 55'.

I have used that product. Works very well, had no problems organizing accessory wiring using it.

When I needed to tie my GPS to my Floscan I just used these.

You actually should set up a NEMA box.

It consists of a Radio Shack "Project Box" With a small wire terminal board mounted inside.

It makes a neat common point to make connections. It has a terminal board that is designed for small gauge wiring.

I've done several of them. This is all for NEMA 0183.

It also protects the delicate wiring from water/damage.
