[C38] re catalina 38 noise in mast

[Rich West]

I had the PVC conduit come loose also.  I was able to rivet it back into
place without taking out the mast.  On my boat, there is one set of rivet
holes running up the mast and next to each rivet hole, there is another
small hole.  To re-secure the conduit, I put a hook shaped wire in the other
hole, pulled the conduit into place with the hook and put in a new rivet.
It took about an hour to replace all the rivets.

The other problem was that someone ran the wire for the radar out of the
conduit.  It was a lot of work to re-route that wire but it was all done
with the mast in place.

  I agree with Charles, I had my conduit break loose during a very ruff trip
to Bermuda in 2000. The problem is to fix it the mast must come out
