By the way thanks for all the advice on this board<br />I have found by searching this site I have found<br />the answers to numerous questions. My ? is what is the best way to route the hose for a water <br />pressure gauge and wiring to your dash w/o<br />causing damage to everything along the way? And<br />is there anything you can keep in place for future<br />installations. <br /><br />Dutch

Allot of boats have a piece of PVC conduit mounted under the boat rail to accomodate wires and things. It provides a great channel for the harness and it is usually tucked way out of harms way.<br /><br />Bob

running wire is not to difficult. just protect the wiring from chaffing . I use sleeving that does not burn and is easy to work with. comes in all lenghts. a electric motor shop uses this stuff. best quality. and under a buck a foot also in many different diameters. Use marine grade wire and connectors seal with silicone or liquid tape. solder connections and tin the wire ends for a wiring job that wil never fail. :)
