Hello and Happy New Year! Thanks to everyone for giving me lots to read and learn over the past year! I have a 1981 H33C.
I need to run electrical wire from the steaming and anchor lights down through the bilge and over to my panel. The most difficult part (as other members have pointed out) is getting from the bottom of the mast through the support pole in the cabin and out a very small hole just above where the support pole meets the fiberglass in the bilge.
I've tried everything. I can poke a coat hanger about 3 inches through the hole at the deck level down toward the cabin before it stops. Which leads me to my question. See the attached image of my support pole in the cabin. What happens if I unscrew the bolts in the picture? Can I remove the casing around the top of the pole or is it welded? I think the coat hanger basically hits the bottom of this casing and the wires should go through a vertical hole in the support pole (similar to the vertical hole at the bottom of the pole). If anyone has any suggestions for running this wire, please let me know. Thank you!
