You know when I replaced the wires in the mast of my 17 I put long black ty-wraps (6") every 6-8 inches pointing in alternating directions and this kept the wires quiet, didn't allow moisture to collect and cause corrosion, and made removal a snap. Am doing the same currently w my M23 now (w longer wraps).

There was no plug inside Tullamore's mast. I filled it with those Styrofoam packing peanuts to keep the wires from rattling, and then plugged the ends with pieces from a swim noodle. Perfect fit, and extra floatation if the worst happens.
