I'm in the process of running a new coaxial cable for a masthead VHF antenna. The issue I'm running into is that the AC plumbing is blocking most of the space that's left in the tiny semicircle where the compression post meets the bulkhead. No matter what, I'll need to remove the hoses to run the coax...
I'm curious if anyone has dealt with this. The options I'm considering:
- Remove the hoses, run the wire, try to shove everything in (it would be VERY tight if it works).
- Drill a hole and add one more conduit through the bulkhead - I don't love this idea, and I'm also not 100% sure what sort of steel structure is inside the bulkhead
- Reduce the diameter of one of the AC hoses (I'm fairly certain the pressure side of the pump is oversized, given the very tiny outlet from the AC pump).
Open to other ideas too. Any advice?
