Hello everyone... I'm new here and would like to know if anybody knows how to get wires up to the helm station from the engine compartment?

Start in the engine compartment and see where the shift and throttle cables enter the compartment. That'll give you an idea where the race starts. Then it may be simply looking for panels or access hatches above that area leading to the helm. Hopefully someone with the same model will chime in and advise exactly how everything is routed up there.

Jesster1, I don’t know where the race starts in the engine compartment but I believe there is one on each side. I’ve never ran wiring from the engine compartment up, but I have for radar and such down. The panel above the door on the outside removes and you have some access there. Also just in side the door above the steps remove the padded covers. Behind each one of those small padded covers you can look directly underneath the helm. Most of you wiring runs to the helm through there.
