Why? Offs been thinking of a 2-3 inch hole on the companion way side of the mast to facilitate running the wires. My mast had a 2 inch hole on the leading edge, for the radar wiring, when I bought the boat. That hole was welded closed when the mast was repainted.

Exactly, in that tiny space between the holding
tank and the fiberglass..

So to clarify,
most are using the existing hole(s) on the
dinette side of the mast. I mean in that tiny
space between the mast and the holding tank.
No one is adding a hole on the companion way
side of the mast, for access, and then putting a
cover over the hole after the wires are run?

That
should work if there is enough room in the
conduit and the wires are not wrapped all
around each other, if you try make sure to
really tape the messenger and the wires
together very good.

No
I didn't. I'm learning more and more as I
go along. But I'm wondering if I can use
one of the existing wires as a messenger?

Kerry,
did they leave a messenger in your conduit
when they rewired the mast?

If
it was 30 year old wiring in the mast I
wouldn't even ask the question. The mast
wiring is only six years old and was changed
when the mast was pulled for painting. But
its still a valid answer.

Kerry,
We re-wired the entire
mast, in place, last year, New masthead
light and wires new steaming/deck light and
wire, new VHF cable and antenna and
re-strung the masthead wind transducer. We
have a 1 1/2 inch hole near the bottom of
the mast at cabin sole level. It was easy
:-) . That is, after the hard, frustrating
hours and days of mistakes &
re-re-re-pulling of the tangled wires and
messenger strings. Once we sorted out the
best messenger to use (weed eater 'string')
it was a matter of having someone up top who
was comfortable being there AND who knew
what he was doing, 2-way communication and
staging the sequence and materials. We
replaced all the bulbs with LED's so the
wire guage was reduced significantly. We
used multi-wire cable to reduce tangles. The
PO had installed all primary wire and it was
a mess.
Give me a call or we can
get together ..
Do you have someone to go
uo there for you?

Happy
Fathers Day to the group.
I was thinking of installing a wind speed
indicator at the top of the mast. However
when I looked into accessing the existing
wiring and PVC conduit, it looks to be an
impossible task without pulling the mast.
Has anyone overcome this issue without
pulling the mast? The only way I can come
up with is to cut a 3.5 inch hole in the
starboard side of the mast approximately
6" from the bottom of the mast, and then,
after making the appropriate connections,
affix a cover plate to the access hole.
Will this weaken the mast beyond use?
Should I just pull the mast?
