Sort of anchor question

[bigwow]

As I am now too knackered to pull up my anchor, I’m fitting an electric windlass. I’ve mounted the windlass on the foredeck, paid a ludicrous amount of money for 30M of 35 section cable and am about to run it through the boat.
Can someone please tell me who makes a cable seal that will take 3X 35m cable from the chain locker into the forward cabin as I would like to keep everything watertight?
Thanks

Index Marine do a drill-to-suit cable gland, expect to pay around 14.00 for the 40mm version.

Thanks for that info, I was hoping to get 1 gland to take all 3 cables.

The 40mm one will realistically accept three 12mm holes, what diameter are your cables?

All three cables? Surely you only need to run the pos and neg through the chain locker bulkhead and that, only if you are intending to place the Solenoid/relay in the chain locker. If so, it would be at great risk of water and impact damage.

If possible, the relay is better sited on the cabin side and the two shorter cables run through the bulkhead.

Just my mumblings of course!

I had a bit of brain fade, thinking 25m2 cable was 35m dia. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Thanks

3 cables from the winch to the relay. Relay is mounted in a locker on the cabin side.
