Before the mast comes down, you can check the other wiring that comes down the mast - masthead anchor light, steaming light, deck/spreader light. Look at it where it is connected inside the cabin to see whether it's marine grade wiring. Mine was zip cord in the mast, and marine grade from the mast to the circuit breaker panel. Once the mast was down, I replaced the zip cord with marine grade wiring. Also, you might want to consider replacing wire rope halyards with all rope.while the mast is down. Check the sheaves to see whether they're worn, and need to be replaced. If so, you can get new ones from Zephyrwerks http://www.zephyrwerks.com . If you do replace the halyards, you may or may not have to replace the sheaves. If the sheaves have a groove for wire, you should replace them.
