Hi Edd,
I recently installed a new pedestal guard with an offset to add a
Navpod for my new B&G Zeus2 display. I soon discovered the problem
everyone has noticed in that you can't run wiring through the floor under
the pedestal guard. Instead, I ran the wiring from the pod into the
pedestal guard and exited the pedestal guard just below the plate that
supports the compass. I drilled a small hole into the binnacle and ran the
wires into the area under the compass. If you do this properly, the wires
are not visible. From there I snaked the wires down through the sheave
plate and into the area where the steering cables run under the floor
panel. I then drilled a hole into the ports side locker and continued from
there. It worked well for me. Fishing the wires through the sheave plate
under the binnacle is a challenge, but doable. I hope this helps.
Live long and prosper,
Gary
