Stus-List Mast wiring - VHF cable

I need to pull a new VHF wire up my mast in the spring. I see that there are 4 different types of Coaxial cable. Any suggestions which is best for a 60 foot run from the radio to the top  of the mast?  Bob Hickson, P. ENG.,Sent from Samsung

Marek - my wires exit the mast through a hole on the port side near the base and are terminated with #8 flanged fork terminals. Each wire is labelled. There is about 2' of wire sticking out of the mast. I have mounted a barriered dual row terminal block below the port settee, with the harness

Re: Stus-List Rewiring mast and anchor light..

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. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI

Re: Stus-List Rewiring mast and anchor light..

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. Alan Bergen 35 Mk

Re: Stus-List Rewiring mast and anchor light..

Although I’m not Dave, the prior owner of my boat instituted what I believe is a good solution to connecting the mast lights to the boat. Instead of using wire-to-wire connectors, the mast wires are all sufficiently long to reach a bus bar mounted in a nearby compartment on the boat. Once the

Re: Stus-List Rewiring mast and anchor light..

I take a spare battery and check all the lights when the mast is still on the sawhorses. Also, my connection is inside the boat – under the dinette seat. I have replaced the connection block as it was getting rather corroded. It sounds like your mast is deck stepped. Gary 30-1

Re: Stus-List Rewiring mast and anchor light..

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

Re: Stus-List Subject: Re: Rewiring mast and anchor light..

FWIW, I have removed the Windex and left the Windex light taped in place during mast storage. The light is so small and lightweight, the wiring itself will hold it in place for storage. From: Dave S via CnC-List Sent: Friday, December 09, 2016 12:48 PM To: C Stus List Cc: Dave S Subject:

Thinking more... For me, the answer is probably to hard mount and hard wire an LED(s) that illuminates the windex but is not mounted to it. (so the vulnerable windex can be removed without disturbing the wiring)Not going to bother with a bulb in a new install, for reliability reasons. Wire

Re: Stus-List Rewiring mast and anchor light..

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

Re: Stus-List Rewiring mast and anchor light..

Lots of people use their anchor light to light up the windex. That is not proper. Joel On Fri, Dec 9, 2016 at 10:34 AM, Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > someone mentioned that this new Marinebeam combo light can easily be used > for lighting the Windex, as well. >

Re: Stus-List Rewiring mast and anchor light..

I don’t know how bright the Marinebeam is, but I believe the navigation rules provide that a bright all-around on the masthead is for anchoring, not for use while underway. A “steaming light” for underway on a sailboat is mounted somewhere about half-way up the mast. Because it could be

I installed a Davis Windex light on Touche' last year. Used it for an overnight race. Well worth the $ and effort. I installed with the rig up. If your rig is down, I'd definitely do it. Davis now makes an LED version. It's only $25. You can buy them cheaper on eBay but they may be the

Re: Stus-List Rewiring mast and anchor light..

A friend of mine with a 33-1 installed a windex light a few years ago. Great for night racing. I believe he just took a waterproof bulb housing and taped it to the windex arm. He aligns the light so it's on the top of the arm, that way your not staring up at the bulb, but can see the light

Re: Stus-List Rewiring mast and anchor light..

Am doing this as well. New wiring, new halyards. Picked up some Belden RG213 - good stuff - for VHF. The 33-2 has plastic raceway inside the mast for cable routing, and space is a bit limited. am thinking I'll wire for masthead and steaming/foredeck lights and leave out the spreader light
