Josh, Photos would be great, including how you got cabling from the guard to an accessible point in the ceiling of the aft cabin (and to the port locker).

Navpod makes an oversized guard which made getting all the wires in very easy. I actually ran considerably more wires than I needed since the system has the ability to interface wirelessly. The nice thing about using the navpod is that the holes in the guard can be cut with a die-grinder and be pretty raggedy and ugly. I used a file to smooth the edges so as to protect the wires but it was definitely something that I was glad to be able to hide behind the navpod box. Turned out very professional looking and all the wires exit through the bottom of the guard posts, through the deck, and are accessible from the ceiling of the aft cabin. We fished connections over from the port locker in the aft cabin. I'll see if I can find some pictures. Unfortunately it wasn't a cheap project.

Between the thick power cable and the SeaTalk network cable (and the ends,) I think I’d drive myself nuts trying to cut holes in the stainless steel big enough to not only get those those cables in and out, but also feed them where I need them to go. Has anyone thought of a way to neatly run cabling along the outside of the pedestal guard? I could use a new project. All the best, Edd Edd M.
