Be careful with going too large on the wiring
conduit. If the wiring can move too much you will
get this really annoying slapping sound when the
mast moves around a bit, in an otherwise peaceful anchorage.

Most masts have a wiring conduit riveted to the
leading edge. When I had the mast rebuilt last
year the yard found black polybutyl. They
stated that the polybutyl was a weak-ish
solution that could pull out of the rivets and
recommended replacing it with pvc. They
fashioned regular pieces of plumbing white pvc
and glued unions to create the appropriate length.
Due to the added wires they ended up having to
add an additional partial length conduit for the radar wires.
I would go with the max diameter that will fit
between the leading edge of the mast and the spreader ribs.

Not sure if all the masts on the 1986 C&C
35âs, have a plastic insert. This plastic
cover covers the conduit wiring, which runs most
of the length on the leading edge of the
mast. The plastic cover has deteriorated over
time and is in need of replacement. Â Any owners
who  have had this replacement issue, I would appreciate your input.
