you said you used these but it appears they aren’t that small. Did you use these a tower and did they fit into the slots I showed in the picture?
I bought and tried these connectors. Wouldn't fit in the slots so couldn't use them. Ended up just twisting wires together and used really small wire nuts to hold them together. They barely fit too. Not much extra room in that small cavity for wires and stuff. I thought about taking the brackets off and milling out some aluminum to make more room, but decided against it.
Yeah, I am going to do something different. Didn't have any other connectors, no shrink wrap, no heat gun, etc. I'll leave it like this for the summer and prep for something better when I take them off for the winter.
You can use something like these, and stagger them so they can be fed through the hole separately.

Yeah I thought of those.... the only thing I don't like is that it could potentially come unplugged up in the tower pipe and then I'd never get the wire out. Could tie a string on it or something...??? Serves the purpose of having a "plug" and it's not too big.You can use something like these, and stagger them so they can be fed through the hole separately.

What I would do is cover each on in heat shrink. They won't come lose that way. When you need to remove them, just cut the heat shrink off, and put new shrink on when season starts.
Yeah, thought of that after I posted. Already ordered some connectors, heat shrink tub and a heat gun. Will post some updated pics once I install. Might do it this weekend since I have to replace the Fusion radio on the swim platform as well.
I have a few of these that I use at home and work (Snap-on) Better than a heat gun because you can solder small circuits too, and it comes with numerous tips, including a heat gun tip.
