80W Solar panel arrived with a 'crease'

[Refueler]

The B in PBO stands for Boat not Bodge

I think 'bodge' is a bit iffy term for it ?

The existing panel has a cable sealed through deck into same style junction box as the new panel. If I can open both boxes and transfer the existing panels cable to the new panel box ... what's the 'bodge' ? The Box can be treated with Corrosion X to waterproof it and keep contacts good. Doing that saves disturbing what is a good through deck seal etc.

An 80W panel is usually fitted with 4mm cable, that 2 core cable doesn't look anywhere near that ?
