[C320-list] Running a wire up the mast

[thruston18]

When our boat was delivered I installed a garmin Gwind (wired). I ran the wire down the mast using the old wire. Installed a garmin field connector. So if I ever take the mast down. It’s easy to separate. Then threw the compression post. Not really a way to feed threw the mast while up. Unless you were to loosen everything and lifted the mast up to work on things.

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?
