An easy and long lasting solution is to use pipe insulation. The stuff that 
 you put around your hot water pipes in your house. It will require 
dropping the  mast. Place the wires inside the insulation and push into the mast. I 
believe it  will take two or three sections below the spreader and one 
above the spreaders. 
Plastic wire ties will also work, but requires removing the wire from the  
mast and reinstalling.

Ok -  this may sound nuts BUT what is inside the mast that causes a  
clanging
noise as the boat rocks back and forth?

We try to sleep on  the boat on weekends and the constant clanging keeps us
awake. Is this  normal and if so, has anyone figured out a way of silencing
the  noise?

Thanks for any suggestions.
