Running wires

[MPL]

Just trying to run a wire from the port side electronic panel to the helm on my ‘14 350DA. I have the tv and all the access panels out and it doesn’t seem to have any access conduit. Wires go all the way around the bow but I can’t access any of the bulkheads to drill new holes following those. Thought about running through the headliner but it seems to be blocked as well. Can anyone tell me how the headliner is installed? That seems to be the only way to get it across the boat but it seams to be glued into the ceiling. Arrggh (and I don’t mean that like a pirate!)
Any experienced comments will be welcome.

This may not help as you have a newer boat than I have had ('03 - '06's), but most of the ceiling panels I've found are held in by "Christmas trees" - and they do a good job of making you think they are glued in!

Hopefully someone with a newer 2014 will chime in. Sea Ray made big changes when they restarted production in n2012...

Whatever you do once you figure out how to run that cable... run a pull string with it. You'll be thanking your self later!

Update for anyone watching. The ceiling panels seem to be glued in. Sea Ray told me they run all wiring along the gunwales, which would require two new holes in the anchor locker. I ended up being able to follow the a/c ducting from the electrical panel to the a/c unit under the forward bed then back out to the starboard side vents then up to the helm. No new holes . I now have a fully functional Fusion remote at the helm.
