Running wire from a stereo remote - 2006 44 sundancer DA

[hy-yacht boatel]

Hello all. New-bee to the forum and looking forward to adding value and having fun!

I am the lucky purchaser of a sweet 2006 44 Sea Ray Sundancer with ridiculously low hours (350). I installed a new Fusion bluetooth stereo system (located in the main circuit breaker panel in the galley) and love the sound. However, after installing the wired remote in the cockpit, I hit a wall. Literally.

Looking for assistance regarding fishing a wire cable from my new wired remote located in the helm and on my dash to the main circuit breaker panel located in the galley. Need to run the cable from that remote down through the aft cabin (I think) and then under the cabin steps and to the back of the main circuit breaker panel. I was hoping to use the old existing clarion wire and use it to pull the new feed, but that was a fail. I just don't know how the wire is routed and was wondering if I need to pull panels from the ceiling of the aft cabin to gain access. If that is the case, please offer direction on panel removal. It's not a far run, but just can't seem to figure out how to do it.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

Eric

When I did mine we pulled it up through the radar arch.... If you remove the cabinet on the port side ahead of the fridge the rest can be done with a fish tape (we had the speakers out of the sides of the arch). It sounds goofy but the installer does it for a living and told me that is the best/fastest.

Mine was recently done and the installer had to remove the padding trim in the aft stateroom and side panel where the central vac plugs in then under the steps to the breaker panel.

Just finished this a couple of months ago. The panel does have to be removed. There is a raceway for the previous clarion system, white plastic. Pull from the panel to the dash. It is very easy, 10 minutes if you have an assistant. Be very careful putting the padded panel back on the wall (Xmas tree fittings) and bend it so that the bottom goes into place along with the top.
