Bud makes a line of heavy polycarbonate NEMA 4X boxes that have waterproof
seals and American Electrical makes a line of plastic waterproof cable
grips. Together they will seal your junctions up tight and both are
available at Digikey.com.
I am using them everywhere a critical junction might be exposed to the
elements.

Hi,
Does anyone have a good suggestion for this situation.
Have four 75 watt solar panels mounted on a radar arch. Need to bring
the wiring into the boat, but only want to put two holes in the boat
(two #6 wires, positive and neg).
I want to run a pos and neg from each panel into a waterproof junction
box, where they will all be junctioned into one big pos. and neg.
My problem is I don't know of a good product (like a bus bar??) to make
the connections, and
I need the connection to be made inside a relatively small, waterproof
junction box that can be mounted on the radar arch somewhere.
I know they make this kind of product for residential electrical
applications, but I suspect there is a good alternative for marine use.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Mike.
