Sometime before Thanksgiving, I hope to lower my mast and do some re-working of the wiring, add a masthead antenna, add an masthead anchor light, and add a halyard plate below the mast shoe.
I have re-wired and added antenna before and know how I want to do that part, but on the 25D there is no anchor light and thus the wiring harness in the mast has only three wires. How can I conceal (sp) the wiring in the cabin? Can the new four strand harness be pulled between the liner and the coach top? Also, how on earth can I conceal (sp) the antenna coax (RG-8U I think, the big stuff)? Does anyone have any suggestions regarding what type of deck fitting to use to pass the wiring harness and coax below decks?
Thanks in advance and fair winds and following seas.

While you are replacing the wiring, and once you are done with your work, you might consider sliding a this tube of foam insulation over the wires. It will eliminate the incessant clanking of the wiring and aid greatly in your sleep habits. Such insulation is available in 8 or 10' lengths at Home Depot.
