Step 7 Putting it all in the box

Now, all of your waterproof connectors should be attached and the entire system should be electronically functional.

The connxall mount pieces will be attached through a wall in the pelican case, with camcorder and batteries inside, and microphone, remote, and camera outside.

I used a 5/8" endmill to cut holes in the pelican box. It seemed sensible to put the connectors on a side wall, though make sure everything will fit (and wires are long enough) before cutting any holes. Nothing ruins a water proof case like holes. After a bit of planning, I put a mark on the outside wall where I wanted my hole and then eyeballed it; the placement does not have to be very precise, but it should be logical.

Take the nuts off the connector. The rubber washer that comes with the mount piece goes on the inside wall. Insert the connector, and tighten the nut on it. You'll want a 13/16" wrench for the tightening.

If the holes weren't too sloppy and the connector is tight enough, this case is now waterproof. Take out the expensive stuff and submerge your box to convince yourself. If the box is not waterproof, go through the steps again, and maybe seal the holes with hot glue or something until it's actually waterproof.
