Running wires to top 255 fsh

[Ed255fsh]

Can't seem to fish wire thru the channel.
Even the one with existing wires for lights.
Seems to get stuck 1/2 way
Anyone get past this ?

Go look at @Zackdadams posts.. I think he ran wires up the T top uprights.

I was looking at this on my 255. I decided that if I needed to run a wire, I would pick a wire that was alone and accessible already running up to the top, cut it, and use it to pull my new wires along with a string to pull the OEM wire back down and reattach to make everything right again.

I tied a nut to a piece of string. Dropped it down the aft right T-top leg. Fished the string out with one of these.
I tried to run the wires down the left side with the other wires, but couldn't get through.

I got it . just kept moving the fish wire around and back and forth finally got thru..maybe piece of fiberglass?
Wired up xm weather. That was for antenna.
Nema fitting just got delivered.

Here is a detailed walk-through of my VHF Radio installation on the FSH 252.
I was inspired by many members of the community, and will be linking to their posts.

Don't forget to register an MMSI.

Part 1: The VHF Radio



I researched VHF Radios for quite a while, and ultimately decided on the Icom M330G.

It has all the features I wanted, plus GPS.
You'll also need to buy the flush mount kit...
