On my E29, there is currently no anchor light, and my wife and I have decided that installing one is at the top of the priority list for the off season.
From the PO I learned that the mast is full of random pieces of foam that he inserted in order to minimize banging & pinging noise from the halyards. My rigger is very experienced, and says that he has only successfully been able to thread an electrical line down the mast 4 times without having to step it. Usually it only works when the mast is stepped.
I was able to gain access to the bottom of the mast, and did not see a conduit leading to the top. The PO also confirms that there is no conduit.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this without stepping the mast? Are there any alternative locations for an anchor light that would be acceptable?
