[Public-List] Wires through the mast

[Don Campbell]

I, too, used the normal rubber grommet for the exits but tied 3 plastic 
cable ties every 2 feet or so up the cable (and wires for lights) such 
that the tails came off at 120º . That holds  the wires off the mast so 
that they do not slap against the mast as the boat rocks on anchor. I 
have not had much trouble with fields, induced currents and interference 
for radio reception at night if the lights are on.
     Just make sure that you use a white cladded wire, not the mast as 
WBW did originally,  for the current return from lights on the rewiring!
