    Front deck wiring

    I'm hooking up a 9" & 10" Birds, 360 and maybe heading sensor on front deck and looking for pics or ideas on location to drill as well as type of grommet or pass thru to use. Thanks

    What kind of boat do you have? If you post a picture of the bow of your boat that may help too.

    It is a aluminum Lowe 180W, just ran 8 gauge wire from battery upfront and hooking up to fuse box. The aluminum deck nose is about 3/8" thick if I drill hole and just use a regular grommet? IMG_20191212_173110210.jpg

    I would drill the hole in the bottom of the plastic plug receptical and cover with a clamshell.
