My 17MKE has the Jaboni solar port on the roof, with the MC4 connectors for plugging in the panels. Mine got damaged and I think it needs to be replaced, and I am planning to use a different combiner box. Does anyone know what's on the inside of the Jaboni port--in other words, what I will have to connect to after I remove the Jaboni? Unfortunately I don't have access to the trailer at the moment and am trying to get my parts together.

The Jaboni port was attached to the roof with butyl tape and several screws, and sealed up with Dicor around the perimeter. The bottom of the port had about 10” of cable coming out the back of the port’s MC4 connectors, and the ends were bullet spliced to the wires that run down to the pass-through.
I tugged on those wires to see if they were loose and might be used in the future to pull some larger cables, but there was no give in them. 😢2022 Imagine XLS 17MKE
