I'm going to repeat this as this has been said before but is really important:
DO NOT GO UP THE STICK ON THE HARD
The boat is supported on stands and has NO self-righting effect, as the center of gravity is above the boat's main point of support—the keel, and if it starts to tip, it's going all the way over.
If you need to do this while on the hard, rent a bucket truck instead...
Using a thin line and pulling it through using the old coax is a pretty good way to do it. Make sure you securely connect the two and overwrap the connection with tape so that it doesn't hang up on anything.

The plan is to use a thin rope at the top, connected to the cable and then to haul it out at the base and then pull the new cable through. This will be done w the boat on the hard...but I gotta do it.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
