Lance, Here is trick a rigger taught me for running halyards that will work for the wire as well. Use a 8-12" lenght of clean bicycle chain to lead the line/wire down the mast. It will bend nicely and in the case of halyards it will go right over a shive. The weight will pull the line down the mast and the links are easy to snag with a bent coat hanger once it is down to the opening you want to pull it out of. FWIW My wind transducer is mounted on the top with a couple of screws set in holes that were drilled and tapped and the wiring enters the mast on the side through a rubber grommet in a hole that was drilled. It would be ideal if you could get the wire in the conduit inside the mast, but I think that might be a little tricky. |
