Mast internal wiring

[Jack Krasney]

I have a Huner 26.5. In working on the mast light, the internal wires were accidentally pulled into the mast. Now I have to deal with a tangled mass of spaghetti that surrounds the internal halyards. Are there any tricks to getting these wires straightened out and pulled to where they belong? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

draw lines

The same happened on one of our other yachts. We got a lead ball sinker and tied on a pull line. Before dropping down the mast we tensioned the halyards really tight to prevent crossing over or under them. Once the draw string was in we tied off on the wire and pulled them through. Hope this is of some help.RegardsMark
