Mast conduit

[Tim]

Time to fix that annoying wire slap. I have asked around and there seems to be a PVC conduit made specifically for boats that has a ridge to allow it to slide into a corosponding slot inside the mast. Does anyone know where to find this? I have googled for hours with no luck.Tim R.

used regular thin walled PVC

I rewired my mast in 96 with thin walled PVC popriveted to mast...seems tough but start at top, front of mast ( mast head out ) every two feet pops.. after started seems, holes line up OK(an awl seems to keep holes in line as you drill) use the long pops..and keep a a piece of light line in the PVCtubing for a fish. for wires..also another thing..remember that 30-40 feet of wire weighs alot on a light fitting at top ..loop it off the mast with a fitting that take the weigh of the wire not the fitting in the lite...good luck
