I need to replace the cable gland on my trawler
I need a vertical entry, rebuilt or "split" cable gland that will accept 3 cables (3/4", 3/8", and 1/4")
I have tried SeaView and Blue Sea but so far they can't supply what I need.
Any ideas from the brain trust out there?
 
I was an electrician up until about 20 yrs ago so I am out of date on a lot of stuff.

I think you will not find one as you describe, You will need to use 3 glands of different sizes.

For a mfgr. to offer units as you describe , 3 sizes as one package, would require a huge market of similar requirements and the different cable sizes would create sales problems.

There is a product I have used for different cables but same problem, I had to use different sizes of Cable clams.

Ask at an Electrical Supply business if such is available.
 
Agree with clectric, you’re not going to find one. Especially with vertical configuration. You need to have full contact all around a cable to seal it properly, and when you bundle them they leak.
There must be another option you can use.

This may work for you. CGM17PG STANDARD VERTICAL CABLE ENTRY If you can't make these work you can go the commercial / industrial grade route by Roxtec but they are bigger and far more expensive.

In a different life I have used these products before, they work well.

No need to remove the connector from the cable but you do need to feed the cable through the mounting frame.

They may be hard to find or have a long lead time if you only need one.
