[C320-list] Running a wire up the mast

[KEN GEIGER]

 Doug, have you looked at the bottom of the compression post to see if some kindly soul left a line within the post and mast that leads to the top that could be used to draw up or down a new wire and a replacement line for the next time.
BTW my wired Raymarine wind instrument has not worked in years and I have been considering a wireless unit, maybe not now.  

good Luck

Subject: [C320-list] Running a wire up the mast

All,

I'm currently fed-up with my wireless Garmin wind instrument and I'm investigating my options for getting a wire up the mast for a wired transducer. 

As far as I can tell, the only way to do this is to pull the mast and feed the wire up the mast as well as down the compression post into the bilge.

Can someone confirm for me if that is truly the only way, or is it somehow possible to do it with the mast standing? Anyone ever have a rigger or marine electrician do it for them?
