Rigging company will unstep my mast tomorrow, in preparation to ship my boat up to the Great Lakes. First time it's been unstepped in the 4+ years I've owned her, and probably the first time since it was brand new. What can I expect......will they have to cut the wires, or is there likely a connection/junction block of some sort where they can just disconnect the mast wiring?

I would imagine there is a junction block to disconnect the mast wiring - I've got one on my boat.

If it's like my 361, there is a removable panel in the cabin by the compression post. Remove that and you can see the cable junctions.

take pictures of the wiring before disconnecting.
