Installing a gWind transducer - does the mast need to be unstepped?

The marina thinks the mast on my '87 C36 needs to be unstepped to fish the wires to the new transducer for a tune of $1700 plus $400 for the ride.  Isn't there a conduit in the mast and adequate clearance to fish new power/signal wires through using the old wires as pull strings while the mast is installed?  Or is it common to unstep the mast for this type of work?
Thanks for the feedback and happy holidays to all.

FYI, there's a wireless option for the gWind and you would not have to unstep the mast.
