Since
their initial installation, the exposed wiring in the head leading to the mast
had bothered me. There is really no way to completely hide it, so the
question becomes one of making it look as good as possible. This project
may not have accomplished that, but it was simple and does provide a neater,
more finished appearance.
I purchased some
split loom intended for wiring, and installed it around the existing
wiring. This required removing the existing wire ties, inserting the wire
inside the loom, and resecuring the loom up in the same location that the wires
had been. The black casing does provide a neater appearance, and I am
happy to live with it like this for a while. I would prefer some nice wood
trim, but don't have the inclination to go that route at this point--too much
busywork.
I followed the
same procedure to hide the LPG hose and solenoid wiring that runs on the
opposite side of the head. I would prefer not to see any wires, hoses, or
wire chases, but in this boat there is just no avoiding it in a few areas.
