I’m still waiting for my new boat ( 2018 Rebel 1750 SS) but been busy getting all the stuff I need for it so when it shows up I’m ready and fully understand how to do the installs. Im going with a Lorance HDS 7 Gen3 Total scan on the dash and another on the bow. I’ll be using a Motorguide Xi5 pinpoint/sonar 80 lb. motor. I think I’ll like how this match-up performs, guess we’ll see.
My question is how to get all this wiring to the counsel? Powering the dash unit is easy and running to the rear with the transducer is easy but how the heck do you get all the other front stuff to the counsel? Do you remove the whole front deck for routing? I’m planning on networking the 2 units and the trolling motor all together. How did you route your wiring? I have any tool I need to get this done and all the patience to go with it. I just want to do a nice clean install. I really appreciate any ideas you might have.
I wish the factory could install raceways for this…
