What this video covers
Sven Yrvind installs a deck gland to route electrical cables for navigation lights through the bulkhead of his boat.▶ 1:33 He selects specific pipe fittings sized for 12mm, 14mm, and 16mm diameters to accommodate the wiring.▶ 1:13 During the installation on the starboard side, he drills a hole through the bulkhead and feeds the conduit through, ensuring the cable makes a U-turn to prevent water ingress.▶ 1:33 He uses a small tool to enlarge the hole to the necessary 10-centimetre depth to seat the fitting securely.▶ 4:44 To ensure a watertight seal, he plans to apply vulcanising tape around the base of the gland.▶ 5:35 The installation process involves testing the fit of the pipe and adjusting the hole size until the component sits flush against the hull.▶ 4:22
