Cockpit Speakers

I splurged and bought myself cockpit speakers for my Sony AM/FM/CD player on my 1982 H30, but now I'm having trouble routing the wire back to the stern rail. I have "temporarily" attached both speakers to the port-side cabin speaker, and routed the wire along the cabin wall, through the quarterberth, through the lazarette, and out the hole drilled for an old Loran antenna. This only gives me the left channel of the stereo, of course, but it works, at least. I can access the back of the radio/cd player, and could connect the wires directly, but I cannot figure out how to route the wires on the starboard side of the cabin. I tried going under/behind the galley, but cannot reach the wire coat hanger from either end. Does anyone have an easy, or even difficult but effective, way to fish the wire through such tight spaces? My hands and arms are too big to fit down there, and the first mate, with tiny hands, can't do any better. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Dreamboat

Have you thought of this?

Fish tape from your local hardware store.

How about

a measuring tape? duct tape the wire to the tape measure and extend it as far as needed? Keep it up Ctskip

I have had success

with the fiberglass rods that come with driveway reflectors, push it through from one side and go to the other side and see if it went where you hoped it would.

carries long, thin steel rods that I have used in the past to fish things. They are flexible yet strong. Greg
