Helm remote help and anybody need a 6 cd changer FREE

i do not get on the site much anymore but I am still subscribed to a bunch of threads so I get notified if anyone posts in them.

There are two small black Phillips screws in the top corners of the AC panel. Remove these and the AC panel folds down.

Use a wire snake. If you do not own one it is worth the purchase if you own a boat, car, house, pretty much anything with wiring. I use a flat metal tape. Some people use a fiberglass version. I like the metal because it has a bit of curve to it so I can direct it a bit up, down, or sideways if needed.

I removed the speaker on the starboard side next to my steering wheel. From there I put the snake into the cavity behind the speaker and pushed it behind the head. I had a helper looking for the other end of the fish tape in the AC panel area.

Do yourself a favor and leave nylon cords in all of the chases where you run wires. This way you can use the nylon cord to pull wires in the future and never have to fool with the fish tape for the inevitable next upgrade.

Thanks Loneranger, really appreciate the info. I have a fiberglass wire run kit so am going to give that a try first and see how it works. If I have problems with that then I'll grab a metal snake. I have some nylon cord that I'm going to leave behind in all the runs for sure. Because as much as "this is the last upgrade I'm doing", you're absolutely right that the next upgrade is really inevitable!
