“AURORA”, a 1975 C&C 27 Mark III (hull # 543) was sold. Please delete this post. Thanks all.
Sorry I'm late answering your original question. I've used that cable gland for several years (actually since it first came on the market). I got the 1" hole version (so I can leave the connectors on the cables), and used the same cabintop location as the factory site. All the old mast wiring (steam, masthead, spreader lights) remains the same. Once through the gland, they connect to a junction strip in the cabin top, while the wind instrument cable and the VHF cable just run forward to the mast, down the mast and into the port storage where my depth and speed thru-hulls are, and are junctioned at that point. The rubber gland is still in very good shape and remains water tight and flexible even though I have to disconnect/connect each fall/spring.... (I think it cost me around 30 bucks..)

I've realized from these conversations that I've not registered my boat, but it is licenced.
To quote the link shown:
All pleasure craft measuring 12 metres or less and powered by an engine 10 horsepower (7.5 kW) or more must be licensed or registered. Licensing is the normal choice for a pleasure craft. Legally and cost-wise, licensing and registration are very different legally, as well as your time and cost. A licensed boat is marked with "numbers", a registered boat with a "name and port". License requirements are listed in the Small Vessel Regulations of the Canada Shipping Act.
I'm confused regarding your statement, David, that it does make the point that you must have valid registration documents or you are liable to fines in Canada, or more serious problems if you cross the border.
Why would you be liable to fines if it's not necessary to register a pleasure boat under 12m?
I have crossed this year several times using my Nexus card to the US. They are aware of my licence, have seen the licence document, and both the US and Canadian border services have linked the Nexus card to the licence number on their computer systems. What am I missing?

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. I ended up repairing the original teak handrails, stripped them down, drilled bolt holes to match the interior rails varnished them and finally got them installed yesterday. (Other than the problems of trying to centre the holes (32 years of sanding makes them a lot thinner) finding 5" stainless flathead bolts, securing the nuts inside the lower handrails and finding out that the port side cabin top is thicker than the starboard side, it went quite smoothly.)

Ooops.. A big thanks for reminding me, David. My switch started acting up late last year.. I would have forgotten all about it until launch day. (I can see all the guys screaming at me to get that thing started and out of the way of the crane!)....
