Guys,
I have a pair of 6105s. Have them on the sides of my 210. Love them, but the power cord sticks straight out of the middle of the ball and out of the water. Doesn't look too good. Here is a simple way to route the power cord to the back of the pump to the mag mount. It makes the cord much less obtrusive in the tank.
Pic of 6105, o-ring and cable tie. I chose to use an o-ring, but you can use a cable tie if you want. I think the o-ring looks better, and is easy to adjust and/or remove. I found that a 1 7/8" ID o-ring fits over the mag mount of the 6105 and holds the cord snug, but not too tight. I had to go to my local Ace Hardware for this. They didn't sell any o-rings that wide at Lowes or Home Depot. Cost was 59 cents each.
Feed the o-ring thru the power cord up to the mag clip:
Stretch the o-ring around the mag mount:
Finished Mod in the tank:
