Ok, I'll see if I can get a prototype made up and post it here. It'll be a few weeks.

........ I also am in need of what to do for a state/country stern flag pole......

Todd, I have what looks like the same surface mount on the same place on my boat. The prior owner said he thought it was for the magma grill, but didn't have a rod for it (so we just ordered one). I wonder if it's really a flag pole holder now. Although mine is perfectly verticle, and not slanted rearwards.
Yeah I had this old mount on my last boat.Todd, I have what looks like the same surface mount on the same place on my boat.

Dennis,
you were confusing me until I figured out that you're talking about getting a wire from the back power panel to the dash. I was referring to the breaker panel in the closet next to the galley in the cabin. And getting a wire from there to the helm. The wires exit at the top and head towards the mid berth ceiling but can't see what happens to them. Sorry I wasn't more clear.
I have already gotten wires (Sonar) from the rear of the boat and it's just like you said (in fact you were the one who told me to remove the cubby and that helped the most).
Nope - you were clear. I understood that's what you meant. I just wasn't communicating clear enough. If they're going towards the mid-berth ceiling (and don't make a turn and go down) then they must run behind the soft panels and underneath the step-down.... I think....
That's an awful lot of dismantling to run the new wire the same way. I think I'd still vote for going down into the bilge for running the new wire. Even if it means drilling a new hole in the bottom of the electrical panel closet.
Try looking at where the other wires go and see if it wouldn't be easier to follow them. Again, I haven't had my panel out, so I'm just hypothesizing here. That sounds better than "guessing", doesn't it? :smt001
I think to run it the same way will teach you a lot about your boat. It's really not that big of a deal to pull all the panels and re-running it. I learned a ton about wire paths with the transducer, GPS and heater installations. During that though I had almost the entire mid-berth disassembled.
