Hello,
Best to attach the chain (or better yet, a string of large fishing weights, with one steel nut, for the magnet) to a light messenger, then pull the halyard through with the messenger. There's a reeving eye on that halyard, right?
And get weight onto the side of the boat where the exit is. And stop to think about ideal halyard layout in the mast; the traditional "main on starboard, jib on port" makes no sense for internal halyards. Oh, and if the new halyard is for a trys'l, make sure the line exits on the same side as the track. And so on.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
