Well, I survived my trip from Sydney, N.S. to St. Pierre, and back.

My mast wiring did not. Somehow I managed to pinch it and ruin the
wires.

Does anyone have a good reference and/or site for a deck stepped mast
wiring interface? I will have about 12 wires (+/-) and a steel hull &
deck house. I have a LeFiell aluminum mast.

Also, recommendations on type of wire would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Here's an untried suggestion. It does at least seem like a practical
way to reduce pinches.

A mass-market exists for 6 way trailer connectors. One type is a
coiled connector like the phones used to have. This stops the
connector pulling out or pinching. It's meant to be out in the
weather. Two of these might suit your purposde.
