Helped me immensely as im fixing to rewire my mast on my Coronado. 50 year old wiring has got to go. Good vid

Mark, im happy to hear this. There’s an email on my page here and you are more than welcome to write me and we can communicate directly if you were wondering about anything else. I’m no professional but this is the SECOND Coronado 25 I have re fitted including the electrical and if I could do it a third time I would do things a bit more differently again. Not that any of this doesn’t work but looking back (these videos are recorded about a year ago) I would have things even better off than what I managed to do this time around. Coronados are great boats. Very comfy.

If you have an internal halyard, DONT tangle the halyard around the new wiring. It happened to me and I didn’t notice till after I stepped the mast. It had to come back down. Which sucked. Also, be sure to anchor the wires to a hook or clamp at the top and bottom because over time they will stretch under their own weight and eventually break themselves after only a few years. It was something Rick taught me while doing the mast. I hadn’t even thought of it.
