Wire Path

[Photolomy]

I need to connect electronics in the overhead console to electronics in the helm, also some stuff on the fly bridge to both the overhead console and helm. I have located the chase in the front of the fly bridge that allows me to run wire to the overhead console from the fly bridge. I have also located the chases in the columns aft of the port and stbd doors that allow wires to run from the fly bridge to the engine rooms. Are there additional chases that allow a more direct path from the fly bridge to the helm? I am thinking to get from the overhead console, I will have to go up to the fly bridge and then down to the helm, but I would like to do that more directly than via the engine room routes. I was actually hoping that the windshield frames had space, but that doesn't look to be the case.

I don’t think so, that’s why you have the massive bundle of wires going between the 2 chases. John

That’s all I’ve ever seen except for under the lower helm into the engine rooms. That’s where you’ll find the shifter and throttle cables As well as anything else PO added.

Thanks. I was afraid that would be the answer. I guess it isn't so bad, there are chases into (towards) the helm from the engine rooms.

the previous owner of my 58 yf made a wire chase between the left and center windshield . it is made of 1/4 inch mahogany it is about 1 1/2 inches out from the windshield frame and the width of the divider between the windows. works great for getting wires from the dash to the overhead

Thanks. Definitely an option.
