Pogo pins
Not sure if this has been covered on this forum, anyway...
If you have a surface boat you probably have a superstructure that you take on and off to get to the interior. If you have lights, radar or something else in the SS then you might have wires and a plug you have to deal with when you remove the SS, which could be a pain in the ass. In short Pogo pins are spring loaded electrical contacts. On my Miss Belmar I used Pogo pins so I have a wireless connection between the hull and cabin, see pictures. In my case I can etch my own circuit boards, so my receiving end is located on the underside of the cabin and the Pogo pins mounted in the hull. You can probably come up with another way to have a contact board for the pins on the receiving side. Not sure if this can be used in a submarine or not, doubtful, but maybe you can use it in something else.

Pogo pins mounted in the hull. The screws allow me to adjust the pins up and down and left and right for optimal contact.
Contact board on the underside of the cabin. I can adjust this board left and right.
