masthead anemometer installation

[Sailfish74]

Could anyone advise on how to run a wire through the mast on a Hunter 35.5 to connect a new ST60 Wind System Analog Vane? My best thought is to connect a pull back line and the new wire to the masthead radio antenna wire and pull it up through the mast, secure the new wire and pull the radio antenna back to it's original location.

Thanks in advance,

Sailfish

On my H34, I used an electrician's snake. (the mast was down). My only problem was that I had to remove the masthead fitting to get into the wire chase inside the mast.

If I'm not mistaken the 35.5 comes with wiring already installed in the mast for masthead instruments.
BTW be sure to mount the sensor as far up and forward away from the mast as is feasable to avoid end plate interference from the main.

Wouldn't that be a gift! Thanks for the Heads Up. Next week will tell the tale.
