That is how Corsair came. All wiring exits high on the mast and runs
into the head to terminal blocks. One for the lights (tricolor, anchor,
strobe) and one for the wind indicator and the VHF Cable.

I agree with the previous post — leave about a six-foot tail of wire
coming out the side of the mast just above the step, then do all the
connections in the nearby settee on a terminal strip.

When I took delivery of my boat, I found that the wiring in the mast
was zip cord (lamp wire). I rewired the masthead and spreader lights
with marine grade wire. If your insulation is brittle, it probably
is not marine grade wire. Change it, and your problems might go away.

Dave,
If you have a good (i.e. reliable) way of connecting the mast
wires to the boat, when you step the mast, I would like to hear
it. The worst part is that my connector is inside the mast (under
the mast foot when stepped), so you have precisely 5 s in the
spring to connect and verify if all lights are working. For the
last two years I am struggling with that. Two years ago my anchor
light was MIA, last year the steaming light. Two years ago a Sea
Dog connector disintegrated while in the mast (from heat in the
summer?); last year, there was no visible damage, but there was
no connection either. I suspect that because the old wires coming
down from the mast are stiff and the insulation is somewhat
brittle, there might be something happening when I stuff the
connector and the wires in the mast cavity. The problem is that
there is no easy way to check this. Well, other than do a
troubleshooting session with the mast hanging on the masting
crane (which is not, realistically, an option – there is always a
long line-up to the masting crane).

I think it is wisest to connect the windex light (LED) to the
running light circuit, so another masthead wire is required.
The ground conductor from the masthead anchor light could be used.
Am going to look at my windex, but I agree with Doug, either
discreet LED or strips could be used. Only issue is reliable
connection at masthead for those of us who dismast ourselves
annually.
