Defyen efoil - jetboard hybrid - Info for the DiYer

It is official, https://defyen.com/ from Quebec Canada is using Felix Remote. A Felix Remote distributor is being set up in Canada (June 2023).

They are offering a hybrid unique board with two propulsion systems using a drawer under the deck : jet efoil or jetsurf (no open prop in Canada).
The drawer principle is not new, there was this asian company with a sea god name (Shangai ?) using it in 2019. (Not NeptuneX based in Croatia)

What is interesting for us DiYers is the cableless link from the ESC drawer to the battery box using four Amphenol connectors. How do they join number 2 and 3 passing through the rear waterproof box side on such a small distance ? Crimping and soldering look difficult. Does Amphenol sell a pass-through made up with two female extremities ??

The 2019 company was Pegasus based in Korea & Singapore. Today they have given up the sliding drawer principle. First company to implement the hatch under the board (before PWRFoil). The sliding drawer could be reused as an outboard motor (idea for Defyen, only brand in 2023 offering a sliding ESC box above the mast).
