Re: Running Lights on H-23 Mast
Bill, Just last week I updated all of the wiring inside of my mast, both VHF and Electrical. The process is unbelievably simple. If you have existing wiring, you'll need a small roll of line and some electrical tape. Lay the line beside the wiring, tape it, and pull it back through the mast. Reverse the process with the new wiring. If you don't have existing wiring, go to The Home Depot electrical department and buy a 50' roll of Greenlee fish tape. It is thin enough to get through the mast and is somewhat flexible. You'll need a flashlight. Mine was not filled with foam, so the process was very smooth. There was not ample space on the mast head to place a new light and antenna. So I cut a plate out of 1/4" aluminum, drilled the holes accordingly for the wiring and mounted it to the top of the mast. On the plate I mounted the light and antenna. Just remember to mount the antenna base behind the light. I have photo's of the finished product. Any more ?'s write me. gkc1068@aol.com
