Many thanks for the detailed response and the illustration. Very clear. So trimming some strands of the wire a bit is acceptable I guess and won't cause voltage drop?

Thanks. I'll look into these solutions

Yes we ave a bussbar we could use. The sealed box is harder to come by...any suggestions for a box type?

I have a 56 ft saiboat with a 24 volt system with an autopilot computer midships with a power wire going to an electric motor powering a hydraulic pump driving a ram attached to the quadrant in the lazarette, a potentially wet place so needing a good waterproof connector system. The wire feed...
