We use one of these on the wind cable to facilitate the removal of the mast instead of the white box.

Paul — Ken is absolutely correct (as usual…) about the white wind vane cable connection box. As far as other installation tips, you can daisy-chain the instruments per the manual to share data across them. You will need to provide a power connection on the SeaTalkNG bus to power them; and you will need to properly terminate the bus in order for it to work reliably. If you’re tying in with an autopilot or MFD, that will make the SeaTalkNG bus more complicated. Contact me if you need more info. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^( On Feb 18, 2018, at 8:11 AM, Ken Heaton <kenhea...@gmail.com<mailto:kenhea...@gmail.com>> wrote: The small white junction box is if you need to cut the wire at the base of the mast to allow the mast to be removed from the boat without pulling the wind Sensor cable all the way back to the instrument. You don't need to install the white box right away, you could leave a couple of loops in the cable near the mast base and run the wire to the wind instrument. You could cut the cable and install the junction box later if you need to pull the mast. When you do, you just bare the wires and insert into the little terminals and tighten the screws. There should be small spade connectors included in the kit to crimp onto the cable at the back of the instrument. Ken H.
