Spent the morning in the HOT !!! sun trying to figure out how to pull new wire harness (catalina Direct) thru the mast for anchor and steaming light/deck light. Seems there is some foam in the mast. I don't know how much but I can see it at the bottom and upper parts of the mast. The mast is off the boat so I thought this would a good time to replace the wiring for the lights and coax for the radio. Any suggestions?

When I ran coax for my Cat 250 WK's first mast top VHF antenna I did not encounter any foam. By the way I used several straightened coat hanger wires with the ends twisted together and taped to fish in a string to pull the coax.
