I continued work on the mast, this time on the wiring side of things. Only two wires were required: a sheathed pair to the anchor light, and a coaxial cable for the VHF antenna. After running a wire snake down the mast from the top, I pulled the two wires through, wrapping them in foam pipe insulation as I went in an effort to prevent wire slapping.
Eventually, I pulled both wires through the masthead, then re-led the VHF cable through a hole just below the antenna bracket, and then made up the connector end.
At the lower end, I attached ring terminals to the anchor light wires. I'd run out of the coaxial connectors I needed, so I couldn't finish the lower end of the VHF cable at the moment. I'd complete the wiring at the masthead once some fittings I needed arrived.
