Aboard connections

[PabloPicasso]

As I work on the 12v and shore power systems I found three mains cables spliced through a choc box connector wrapped in insulation tape, and not screwed down.

I want to replace this, but with what?

A 3 way domestic mains box that can be screwed down?

I have a box for wago connectors is that safe to use on a boat?

Other options?

Wago connectors are fine on a boat. They need to be secure and the box needs to be waterproof if in a damp/wet location.

That said, what are these mains cables ? Type, size, going to and from where ?

+1 What do they do? What do you mean by mains box? consumer unit , connection box, or what?

Maybe something like this if you are short of space:

CPC cable joiner
I think there are also 3 way versions but you can always blank off the unsed entry until needed.

It's the shore power/mains connecting cables to various 3 pin sockets. It's below a bunk in the aft cabin, so shouldn't be wet!

3 cables join in a choc box connector covered with insulation tape that is not restrained.

A wago box screwed to the bulkhead would be easy enough.

I'm using shore power more often now the boat is ashore than when afloat (boat was/will be kept on a mooring)

Power tools, kettle, dehumidifier, battery charging....
