The wires are attached to the wood frame that supports the floor and follow the same basic path as the fresh water pipes. In the bow the wires travel under the fresh water tank and 'v' berth up into the anchor rode locker where they attach to the windlass. On the Mariner there should also be a couple wiring tubes that go from the flybridge down through the head and into the bilge. The steering and shifter cables also pass through in the same area. It is possible to route wires following the same path so that the windlass control switch can be located at the helm. It should not be necessary to modify the headliner or have wires visible anywhere in the cabin. You may have to pull up a few staples and lift the carpet from the floor, but much of the work can be accomplished simply be removing drawers and reaching through the cabinets. 1974 2885 Monterey 1978 2896 Mariner (Stripped down to the gunwale and ready to cut) [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
