Jim & Cynthia, These ideas aren't my own I gleaned them from this list. I've heard two options for securing coax inside of the mast. 1- is to place tywraps every foot or so along the length of coax and to not cut off the tywrap tails. Then when you feed the coax into the mast the tywap tails will bend to fit inside the mast and will keep the coax from slapping. 2- is to run the coax inside of pool noodles, inside the mast. Have a good evening, Randy Graves On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 9:16 PM, Jim Wiliams <jwilliams330@cox.net> wrote:
Anyone have any thoughts and/or tips on securing the VHF coax fished inside an M17 mast to avoid "clanking" and chafe in heavy water action conditions?
Thanks in advance for your input,
