Cary,
I believe the mast cap is through bolted on. I was able to remove mine when I replaced the wiring. I used an electricians fish tape that I was able to run the length of the mast to pull the wiring through. I’ve got one if you want to borrow it. - rob

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] IMF anchor light installation

Has anyone installed an anchor light on an Inter Furling Mast. I checked
the top plate on the mast and found it to be attached with three rivets.
Can you remove the plate and how would you replace the top plate? If you
have successfully accomplished this task also advise what difficulty is
involved in running the wire through the mast. 26 feet is a long way to
push wiring.
I am amazed that this would not be standard equipment on the Rhodes 22.
This boat is marketed as a small day sailor suitable for overnight cruising.
Just my thought.
Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
