I would simply run the tape from the hole underneath the console forward to the bow like you are tryingI would open your portside rod locker and try to run the wiresnake back to the console. Yes I know its uphill but I would expect to be able to find it with a light while upside down looking out the large hole under the console. That gunnel is accessible at the front of the port side rod box near where your carpet ends in the box. You can see some of the wires for your bow graph easily looking forward in the box.Pull the wire to the front of the rodbox.Then pull to bow.There are some pvc pipes(I believe?) up high in the inside of the gunnel but you should be able to run it no problem without it.WardLast edited by clownshoes on September 12th, 2012, 10:08 pm, edited 1 time in total.C.O.D.
