center console cable routing tube?

[Kjonespequa]

Hey folks:
I would like to install my Garmin 441s GPS. I understand that I must route the wires through the under-deck tube, from the console to the stern area where the other cables exit through boot. What can I do I do not see a "pull" wire, to attatch cable? It's a 17" Sundance 17v CC.
Thanks...

An electrician's fish tape works well, but my favorite is an old shift/throttle cable...

A piece of steel banding or a stiff piece of wire with the ends folded over and taped will work in a pinch or if you aren't to squeemish, you can use a wire thats already in there to pull in a pull rope and pull both of the wires back through. I usually pull in an extra piece of wire or cord, for next time!

...as do I, and label it so you, or the next owner, knows what it is...
