I need to run a radar cable inside the boat from the mast fitting to the nav station on my 2011 Hunter 50 AC. Anyone have directions or an SOP from Hunter?

On my 356 I think the wiring for the radar ran between the liner and the underside of the deck. There was a junction box under some of the trim around the compression post. I think this because I remember noting that the wires didn't come up from the bilge when I disconnected them in anticipation of dropping the mast. Maybe it would be possible to snake a wire to use as a messenger in that space.
If you need help there is a guy here in G-port who does installations of electronics and other systems and has many happy customers. PM me for details.

If you have access to the bottom of the deck under the mast you should be able to run the cable (above the liner and below the deck) from mast base thru-hull to the port or strb gunnel/toerail and then aft to the nav station. Stiff wire is handy for this
