For quieting the wires inside the mast, I filled it with styofoam packing peanuts and plugged the ends with a piece from a swim noodle. Works very well and provides floatation in the unlikely event of a turtle. I've heard of others cinching a zip tie around the wires every couple feet and leaving the long tails to press against the inside of the mast, preventing the wires from slapping. Larry
