Steve installs a suite of Garmin navigation electronics on the mizzen mast of the wooden boat Arabella while docked in Harwich Port.9:47 The project involves mounting a radar dome, a satellite compass, and a satellite weather sensor, requiring the routing of NMEA 2000 cables through a custom cable gland on the housetop.9:47 To ensure a watertight seal, Steve uses duck seal and a multi-port cable gland, cutting the rubber gaskets to accommodate pre-fitted cable ends.11:13 Below deck, he integrates these new components into the existing NMEA 2000 backbone, organizes wiring, and connects the system to the electrical panel.14:08 He also installs two USB charging ports in the cockpit.2:51 Testing confirms the functionality of the AIS, radar, and VHF radio, though the satellite compass requires further troubleshooting due to an error reading.19:35 The installation provides the flexibility to selectively power navigation gear based on visibility and traffic conditions.20:56
