My mast is off being refurbed. I’m replacing the wiring/co-ax and adding a new cable for wind instruments. In the pic you can see the mast step is rubber filled (silicon?) were the wires go through. My thought is to unbolt the mast head and drill a hole through the rubber then run the new wires/cable through - piece of cake - yes?
Also, is there anything in the spreader to secure the shroud or is it supposed to be all loosy goosy as the pic shows?
