Installing a Badlands Apex 5500 with KFI mount.
The remote control panel mount receptacle is a bit perplexing(see pic)
Even compressed the ‘Y’ connecter is much larger than the required hole for the panel mount receptacle.
How could it be fed thru the panel mount hole?
I am thinking about ‘key slotting’ the panel mount hole in the direction of the screw holes so the connection flange will still cover the key slots and enable the ‘Y’ to be fed thru…..or just make a angle bracket and mount it under the hood.

2nd….what is this Velcro sleeve for? It seems far too bulky to protect the rope feeding thru the fairlead. It is not on the instruction parts list.
