need help with mast wiring
I am trying to replace two wires in the main mast of my pearson 365, the coax and wind indicator wire. I an using the old wires to pull the new ones down through the mast.
the problem is I found the old wiring in the mast is twisted into a knot and will not pass thru the 1" hole near the base. To complicate things more there is only 2" between the mast and a bulkhead at the hole. Did I say I'm trying not to pull the mast.
Is it posible to safely drill or cut a circular or oblong access hole in the opposite side of the mast? If so, how big ? If not ,any other ideas ?
Thanks
Roy
