The DS40-P-BLK is the black composite (plastic) version, which is a lightweight and economical alternative. The DS40-S, on the other hand, is the version made of stainless steel, offering different robustness and finish.

The main difference lies in their capacity and drilling size. The DS40 is designed for connectors up to Ø40 mm and cables of 12-15 mm, requiring a Ø40 mm hole. The DS30 is suited for cables of 9-14 mm and requires a Ø30 mm hole.

Four No. 6X16 self-tapping screws are included in the kit for securing the deck gland to your mount.

Yes, applying silicone is essential to ensure a perfect seal around the drilled hole and under the deck gland base, thus protecting the interior of your vessel from water.

The drill bit diameter for pilot holes depends on the material of your support:

For soft materials (e.g., plywood): use a 2.5 mm (3/32 inch) drill bit.

For hard materials (e.g., fiberglass, acrylic, hardwood): use a 3 mm (1/8 inch) drill bit.
