Line up with blue nyrod and drill a hole through the bulkhead. Insert the nyrod. Spray a little Pledge on the antenna and feed it through. Piece of cake!
Good Luck

WD40 works as well - that's what I used to lube the inside of the nyrod.

Or buy a piece of the clear dubro antenae rod material and use that instead of the yellow nyrod stuff. Much easier to shove the antenae wire into.

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I wound up usings a "pull cord" of solid 18 awg wire to pull the antenna wire through. Tried the WD40 and the Pledge and didn't have the nylon tube available. I think the 90 degree heat here made the antenna lead too flexible to push through. Appreciate all the suggestions.
