<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Alan,<br></div>With the blue globe male fitting into the top of the shaft, there would be no twisting of wires based upon one of there videos I watched on how to install., I Thought that I could use a flat blade connector and sleeve receiver from the subconn, to mate to the MK wires and I would not have to push the wires much into the shaft. Its amazing that this information takes so much energy to work out the design, You'd think subconn, has come across this question before since its what they do.<br>

The mk wires will be attached to the end of the outlet side of the subcon connector and threaded thru a blueglobe seal. creating a pig tail assembly. I am not using the Mk shaft as the attachment point for the thrusters as I have a kort nozzle assembly for attachment to the sub body.

How will the penetrator connect to the MK housing? Do you mean
having subconn manufacture that end of the cable with threads to
match the MK stub?<div><br clear="none">
