Edd,
I had a Navpod with an MFD added to my 1991 37+. The pedestal guard was replaced so the Navpod could be mounted above the compass. The new pedestal guard has larger ID (1-1/8) to take MFD power, NMEA 2000 cables, radar cable and 12 VDC plug wiring. There is no access point in the aft cabin but it was possible to snake cables from the lazarette. The old pedestal guard was removed and the holes enlarged to take the new pedestal guard. It was caulked in place and held down by the pedestal. (There was no way to put the locknuts on the pedestal guard feet.) I ended up replacing the 3M 5200 with butyl rubber as the former leaked. It may be possible to cut access holes in the ‘bump’ in the headliner in the aft cabin. You could located the access holes when the old pedestal guard is removed. When you remove the pedestal guard, consider servicing your steering. My idler pulley plate was so badly corroded, the pulleys moved & steering cables fell off. I ended up replacing that along with cables, wheel brake, etc. Good luck, Ron From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Edd Schillay via CnC-List Sent: Friday, April 8, 2016 4:24 PM To: C&C List Cc: Edd Schillay Subject: Stus-List 37+ and XL (and probably 34's too) Pedestal Guard Wiring Listers, Has anyone with 1989-1993 C&Cs installed instruments into a NavPod (or similar) onto their stainless pedestal guards, and, if so, how did you run the wires down from inside the guard? In other words, once you reached the bottom, where did you go from there? As far as I can tell, without taking it all apart, the guard ends on the deck above the aft cabin and there is no access point to that area. But, I may be wrong. Anyone? I’m looking to install a Raymarine e95 MFD and p70 Autopilot control head at the helm. All the best, Edd Edd M.
