Stus-List Electronics at the helm
I am getting ready to fully wire my Chartplotter/depth/ to power, depth transducer, and Ais GPS that is located down below. There is not enough room to go through the pedestal as the autopilot and engine cables are taking up most of the space and I don't want anything to get tangled. The pedestal guard is the obvious choice but there are NO HOLES down there. Only nuts on studs or bolts at the base of the guard tubes. HELP! A new pedestal guard seems like overkill just to run wires. And yes, I need the chartplotter at the helm.

Re: Stus-List Electronics at the helm
The pedestal guard should run through the deck into the bilge. You can run a couple wires through each tube. If you are runnng NMEA 2000 devices it is a PIA but doable. The other option is to get waterproof clamps from Blue Seas or others and drill through the deck.

Re: Stus-List Electronics at the helm
Does your pedestal guard tube not have an aluminum casting with two bolts through the deck at the foot each side? If so. Loosen up the guard at the binnacle, lift it up and you should be able to drill holes through the cockpit sole in the hole in the castings. You can then route cables down the guard. .

Re: Stus-List Electronics at the helm
To run wires through the guard would need changing the feet from single bolt style to the two bolt kind. The single bolt style has the bolt inside the tubing while the two bolt style places the bolts outside, so you can run wires up inside. Pricey but might be worth it if you want to hide the wires? Some new pedestal guard kits include the feet, so for a few dollars more. . . Check for Edson as well as Navpod.

Re: Stus-List Electronics at the helm
Remove the Binnacle guard leaving the floor mounts in place and drill holes through the cockpit floor for the wires. Keep insides of mounts clean so guard fits back in. I started with a small drill then over drilled in size and then filled with epoxy to seal any coring and then drilled the size for the wires. Pretty thick with plywood floor etc. Then drilled hole where wires are to come out the Binnacle guard (hardest part to do). Since I ran many wires into an Edson pod for three instruments , I had to align holes in each side of the Pod binnacle interface with Edson mounts so no wires are exposed. Run the wires through before remounting the Binnacle Guard simplifies the snaking of wires etc. Good Luck!

Re: Stus-List Electronics at the helm
I had to upsize to a 1.5" guard when I put new instruments at the helm. (Radar, plotter, wind, depth, speedo, and autopilot head). Seemed like a big waste money at the time, but in retrospect, I'm glad I did it. If you plan on having the boat for a while, it's probably worth doing. If you're not going to keep the boat for a while, don't put new electronics on.

My old handrails were lag screwed from the bottom. I like this approach as it makes installing finished handrails a much less time consuming job. There would be no need for plugging, sanding and re-finishing the plugs after installation. I wanted to re-bed them using the method described on http://www.pbase.com/mainecruising/rebedding_hardware. However, the more I think about it, using the Butyl tape doesn't lend itself very well to using lag screws. It seems to me you don't want the bolt/screw turning, as it would grab the Butyl and pull it out of place. You know, that stuff likes to stick to itself and everything else. Wouldn't turning the lag bolt mess up the nice cone shaped blob you place for the countersink area? ... Am I overthinking this? ...should I go back to jolly 'ol 5200? ...should I reconsider through bolts and plugs and then have to deal with refinishing the plug areas. I wouldn't mind but, the need to re-coat 8 times at 1 time per 24hrs really makes it tedious. Especially, when it takes me 40 minutes to get to the boat. Thats not much fun after work every day. 1 1/2 driving for 20 minutes of coating, not to mention the gas...LOL As always, I appreciate any and all opinions and insights, Danny Lolita 1973 Viking 33 Westport Point, MA ___ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com ___ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com ___ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com ___ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
