[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 434461, member: 15636"] [i]Silly me ...[/i] :oops: my mind automatically went to chasing fish on saltwater flats ... I must have been dreaming! OK, you don't need to worry about your boats in F-W like I need to do for mine in S-Waters. I also added a rigging tube and took a long length of blue thick mono 'weed whacker' cord and put it into the rigging tube, tied to a large SS fender washer on each end. Mono is long enough so I can pull from one end and pull a length of wire the length of the tubing all the way through ... so your mono needs to be 2X as long plus 2-3' extra for good measure. I just coil it up under the dash on the helm side, so on my boat it is out of the sun. Last week I went to add a new wiring run all the way to the stern, un-did the coil at the helm, taped in the wire I needed to the mono at the helm, then walked to the stern, grabbed the washer and pulled it right through - simple, easy, and FAST! Pulled it back at the helm and re-coiled it, waiting it's next use. [u][i]Tip [/i][/u]- Spray the wire to be pulled with WD40 or even wet out the few foot or so with spit ... and the wire zips right through, especially as your run gets more 'crowded'. [b]Enjoy that hull! [/b]Now if you don't post pictures of your flyrod pike catches ... note I'm going to sick Jim and Capt Ahab onto you ... :lol: [/QUOTE]
