No intention here to start a conversation on pros & cons - Just that I'm building a racer for a customer in NZ where safety loops are mandatory. I've seen some that don't seem very secure but I stumbled on this config while fiddling around in the parts drawer. Easy (after a bunch of soldering) and drops right in the hole in deck ; secure, tight & waterproof.
Start out with a ZippKit radio box rubber bellow seal goodie, some CC 6.5mm connectors & some shrink. Connector fits so tight in Zippkit thang that some rubber mallet "convincing" is needed.
Ready to drop in 7/32" holes :
upgraded O-rings & G-10 "washers" to keep nut knuckles from gouging underdeck
installed (with a little dab of silicone sealant for good measure)

(somehow the pictures didn't come out where I placed them but..)
Also, any choice/combination of connector polarity would work. Using females would be more streamlined looking if run minus the loop but would collect water and ultimately oxidize the connection (at least I think..)
