Silicone seal it..  cut the power cable and put it a weather connector at the splice.. for removal.

So smart, turns on every time now and is working great. My old power cable was loose and would shut down if I kicked it on accident.

Bunch of water proofing measures (shrink wrap connector, electrical tape, and the silicone tape over that). Just hope the weather connectors hold up but I have a bunch extra for the future. I have stopped using a fuse as that was the weakest link for a long time in my system.

Nice.

I use those same connectors for my battery box, inside the hull. But, I'm not sure I'd trust them in a wetter environment. For outside the hull, I think these are prolly much more likely to hold up in the long run:

This is a pretty good hack for the power side of things with the Striker 4. My power cable seems to be holding up fairly well so far, but my transducer didn't want to register that it was plugged in the other day. I fiddled with it for about 20  minutes before saying screw it and heading out anyways. Anyone have any transducer cable issues, or is it just me?

Thanks!
