I put the navpod on a pedestal guard that was about 8" taller than
the old one. I then ran the wire through the inside of the pedestal
guard to under the support plate for the guard, just under the
binnacle where it exits the pedestal when I installed my e7 MFD. I
had to tap into the binnacle light for power, but it came out clean and nice.

I really don't see any way you could run the wires through the bottom
of the pedestal guard...

Josh,
I replaced my steering cables last year and the sheaves appear to be
all right. As I have it now, my old GPS has a clamp which attaches to
the guard and the wire goes into the pedestal under the engine
controls (See photo in one of my recent Captain?s Log entries:
http://enterpriseb.blogspot.com/2016/02/stardate-116104.html
<http://enterpriseb.blogspot.com/2016/02/stardate-116104.html>).
I was wondering if anyone has successfully ran wires through the
pedestal guard all the way down to under the cockpit deck. And, if
so, how did they get the wires aft from there?
I can always install the new e95 the same way as the the old one, but
was hoping there would be a way to do it more stylishly without
seeing any wires at the helm. I suppose I can drill another hole in
the guard under the strut that attaches the guard the pedestal and
run the wires into the pedestal from there, but was hoping to run all
the way down. Of course, if that involves removing the pedestal, then
I?ll forget it.
All the best,
Edd
