My advice is to disconnect all cables in the port locker where there are connectors.Be sure to carefully tag all cables as they look similar and are not colour coded.The silicone sealant in the deck plate can be replaced with something else when the mast is replaced.It is worth replacing all cables and rewire and possibly replace the lights etc if they need it while you have the chance.

Surprise is 20 years old and as far as I know the mast has never been
pulled. I'm thinking of doing that this winter to service halyard
sheaves, rebed chainplates, etc. Can anyone tell me what problems to
expect if I ask the yard to do this as part of winter haulout? I'm
mostly concerned about cables that may run through the mast step with no
connector. In case it matters, I believe that my boat was originally
commissioned by Sail Annapolis in 1999. I suspect that they sold most of
the 320's of comparable vintage on the Northern Chesapeake, and probably
the mast was stepped initially under their direction.
