[Rhodes22-list] silencing internal mast cable slap

Mike,
Yes, you need to remove the mast head and insert more insulation from the  
top. This solution has worked well for me for almost 17 years now.

I  read here that folks have used pipe insulation to silence the "cable  
slap"
from the cables running inside the mast.  I just put two 6'  sections of
insulation onto the radio and masthead light cables, but that's  all I was
able to push on.  I think that the insulation is hanging up  on the bolt for
the spreaders.  I imagine that if I pull that bolt  I'll be able to push 
more
insulation up the mast.  

My question  is: Is it worth it to pull the spreader bolt or is what I've 
got
in there  so far (about 12' of insulation) enough to end the cable slap?   

As you can tell, I'd prefer to not pull the spreader bolt if I don't  need
to.

Thanks!
