pipe.
Place the steel washer and gland nut over the cable and screw the nut onto

With the vessel in the water, check for leaks at the gland and if leaking
slightly, tighten the gland nut with a spanner until the leak stops.
With all leaks stopped and while holding the gland nut with a spanner,
tighten the gland lock nut against the gland nut with a spanner.
