Next time tie it to a round fishing weight and the weight will carry it down the ducting held vertically.

I'm glad we bought a 'ready made' boat! So we can blame all the faults on the previous owners!

PREVIOUS attempts had included tying a knot in the cord and using the compressed airline at work to try and "blow it through".... which didn't work. |

Light string tied to an appropriate sized cotton ball and then suck it through with a vacuum cleaner. Just in case you ever have to do it again. |

my normal reply is "use a mouse" ........ that's an electricians mouse, If it's one of the better ones with a proper little wheel on the end it can be pushed a hell of a long way down flexi conduit especially if you can stretch it out so it is in a reasonably straight line. The cheaper type with the rounded tip have a tendency to snag up on the corrugations.
