2006 Lightning 38 stereo help
Hey guys. Routing wire from head unit in cabin to side dash for wired remote. Thought there was hole under dash..no such luck. Anyone ever do this? What do I remove to get access and fish wires through? Where's the main wiring? Nothing under step in the cabin either. Thx

There are some wires on mine going through that wall behind the dash to power the compass and signal the depth finder in the cabin bilge. However it looked far more complicated so I just went my route.

dont know if you have the head hooked up yet but if you have the amp in the cabin, the groun wire is going to have to be like a 0 or 00 or the stereo wont work.
But as for what you are doing, can you go up and above the head liner and drill a hole beind the dash?

Well I've tried just about everything. Took the interior trim panels off under the dash along the side....in the head on the back wall....in the hallway around the head door and even around the cabin doors. NOTHING NADDA ZIP ZERO. No access to anything!!! I can stick my head on the storage slider by the back seat and see that the old wired remote was wired in and zip tied from the factory. Wires all seem to dive around a corner and behind the dash...but no access to that point from under the dash and no access underneath...What the hell is the deal? Tired of taking this boat apart...and now I have a 2' hole where the old remote was. Does anyone have any ideas?

Also The back wall of the bathroom behind the toilet, but you will have to cut the vinyl wall in the bathroom and fish across the headliner. Would be a very difficult task

Remove the lower leg of the bolster, then remove the side panel that has the sliding door. With that panel off you can fit you whole body in the gun whale area. You can then fish the wire to the other side over the fuel tanks like I told you in an earlier post. I have had my boat stripped to nothing, I wouldn't lie to you...that is where the wires are ran.
