Hello captains.
I have a 1997 Hunter 376, Mer-Sea Beaucoup.
I need to run BlueTooth and a WiFi antenna cables from the panel to the port side stern locker (standard location). I’d like to have room to add wired in the future, as well.
please note that I’ve added a BT antenna at the cart table. It is marginally better than the existing stereo BT service, but is entirely unnacceptable.
The wiring bundle PVC conduit that runs from the panel to the port stern locker, is full. Not even a small size fish tape will fit between the existing wires.
I’ve attempted to run a fish tape, outside of the jam packed conduit, without success. Regardless of the fish tape insert point, it runs into something about 10 feet in. This may be because the steel tape, due to the distance of the run, slumps out of the intended path, into the space between the hull and molded interior features (head walls, as an example).
Has anyone had to address this problem? Is it possible that PVC conduit (because it is minimally flexible) could be inserted next to the existing conduit?
Thanks, in advance, for your enlightenment.
Tim
