deck thickness 1976 v-222, to run attena cable through

Post by bcharris101 »

I am putting in a mast mount atenna on my boat and I want to run the cable through top of deck near mast. So I was wondering if anyone know the thickness of the fiberglass deck, so that I can figure out what I need to get to go through the deck. If any one has suggestions on how it can be done they would be apprecieated. I want to be able to unplug from top of deck, for when I need to lower the mast, mostly for winter storage.

thanks

I don't know the exact deck thickness of a V-222, but I wouldn't think it would be much different than my 26S. I used a thru-deck coax connector from West Marine. To install I simply drilled through the deck with a spade bit, then set the connector in sealant.
