I used polyethylene foam donuts with a hole in the middle when I put internal halyards in the mast on my old Hunter 27. A notch at the front kept the wires tight to the front of mast. The foam is very slippery and the halyards are kept away from wires, screws etc. I put the foam against the end of mast and traced around it, then cut it to that slightly oversize using serrated steak knife. I pushed them up into the mast using my whisker pole from both ends. Absolutely silent halyards!
