Nathan,When I installed an additional conduit in my mast. I blocked the spar so 
the conduit would lay in the low part. Gravity is your friend. I then drilled a 
3/16 hole thru the conduit and mast, used a hook to hold it in place drilled a 
second hole about an inch away. Installed pop rivet in that hole, and another 
in the first hole. Do this about every 4-5 ft. I used 1 in pvc pipe. I then 
used a long fish tape to feed a messenger line, which was used to pull all 
wires in at once. I used a soap solution to help lubricate the wires. I have 
one conduit that goes full length of mast and one that goes to just below 
spreaders. Doug Mountjoysv Rebecca Leah C&C Landfall 39Port Orchard yacht club

Stus-List securing cables in mast Some great info and good suggestions Rich. 
That is a very clever way of bolting the conduit on the inside of the mast.  
Thank you.  I am thinking I will try using blind rivets - at least mostly - to 
hold the conduit in place since that will be almost flush and avoid having a 
nut on the outside of the mast.  However, I might use a few bolts following 
your method as you suggest to hold things in place first which will likely make 
drilling and riveting go smoother.Nathan PostS/V Wisper1981 C&C 34 CBLynn, MA
