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!
