I have a block that is connected to the mast base plate, when it contacts the mast it sparks. I think I have a hot that is contacting metal, but surprised the mast is a ground? All of the lights work properly, so that doesn't make great sense either. I looked at the manual, it looks like 4 wires up the mast, and with 3 lights (anchor/steaming/deck) that fourth is a ground. Inspection required, but I won't see the boat for a few weeks yet. I Googled around, can't find any info on what is going on inside the mast. Is there a conduit for electrical, or are lines and wires all running up the same race? Has anyone pulled new wire, can give me some advice? Thanks!
