Help please, Mast electrical plug C&C 25 mk 1

[CliffA]

Hi.
The wires on the cabin top side of the mast light/electrical connector are shot, there isn’t enough wire left to splice new wire onto. Also, the wires inside the cabin seem to be hidden in the roof liner. The wires come up right above the bulkhead,

Any suggestions on how to fish new wires down through the cabin top using the existing hole, or am I stuck with having to drill a new hole?

Thanks.

Can you snap a picture?

Yes, I’ll grab a picture next time I’m at the boat.
Thanks

Great! The more pics the better. Be sure to take a few of inside the cabin as well

Well I’m guessing this wasn’t the first time the wires got wrecked. I noticed some caulking to the side of where the wires come through the cabin top, so I pealed it off and there was a hole underneath that was used for I’m guessing the original wires.
Should be able to get things taken care of pretty quick now.

Pictures would help us better visualize what you found.

Sorry I never took another picture when I found the second hole, it’s hidden by the spreader in this pic. Those wires are coming up smack dab above a bulkhead - no idea how someone was able to fish them through.

You could use a Cable Clam so you can dig into the deck a bit more for better access. This is assuming that your wires are in salvageable condition.
