1.7 Running SeaTalk & NMEA2000 cables

Cable routing practices

When running cable, always observe the following guidelines:
• If a cable has to be fed through the deck, always use a good quality deck

gland.

• Where cables are fed through holes, always use grommets to prevent chafing.

• Secure long cable runs so they do not present a hazard.

• Wherever possible, route cables away from fluorescent lights, engines and

radio transmitting equipment, as these may cause interference.
