I read an article not too laong ago about this very thing but I can't remember what magazine it came from.
The general idea was that you run the coax and any wires INSIDE of a piece of polypropolene rope ( the yellow stuff ) and secure the rope at the top and bottom of the mast. This prevents chaffing of the wire. Also use the zip tie idea to keep things from slapping around inside the mast.
Looked like a little bit of work but the finished product was nice.
