Piece,
Where (how) are your steering cables run (to the back of the boat)? Can you use the same path for your wires? The boat had to run the original wires somewhere. Something else to think about: if you add a piece of PVC under your gunwale and run your wires inside, it'll make for a much neater install (especially if visible) and keep your wires from sagging over time and looking like Christmas garland. It's harder to do, but I think well worth the effort in the long haul. Remember to use a rubber grommet for any wires going through any sharp holes (especially on an aluminum boat) or you'll wear through the wire insulation surprisingly quickly. Glad things are moving along for you. Good luck.
