The best board for all diy e-foilers

What I like so much on Waydoo boards, and I still not understand, is how they can unmount the master.
I mean, every board that I see until now on DIY boards, have all cables directly connected.
But they can unconnect the master and after transport you can reconnect it.
I wonder how this can be make in a DIY efoil board.
I need it cause I have not so much space in my car.

Someone have an idea ? or someone know a link of someone that make this possible ?

Thanks all
Denis

I think this is common solution for eFoil DIYers. I transport my mast disconnected. Board bottom is flat with 4 threaded mast mounting inserts and slot for motor wires. And one hole for cooling water supply.
Silicon gasket mold is 3d printed.

It is possible to do in different ways.
I usually do a small hole in The board just below my mast there my cables and connectors goes out so i can connect/disconnect them before i mount The mast on ny box. In this board i have The vesc installed in a box on The mast so it is The power cables going out. In my previous board i had The vesc inside The board with a small heatzink and fan for cooling, then i had The three motor cables instead.
Then i have a sealings behind The mast so it is usually not comning in any water to the connectors. The cables are sealed with sixaflex 291i so i do not get any water into The batteries in The box.
I havenā€™t fixed The finishing yet on The box :grimacing: but it is working without any problems.

Just buy this tool:

Hello,
tosh.jah is right. These connectors are not intended for soldering. Good luck with your project.

Would you have a link to these connectors ?

Check the supplierā€™s product list or contact their agent. I canā€™t find the exact link but itā€™s there.
