Shouldn't be a problem.
There is a plastic plug you remove and then you can run the wires through from the rigging tunnel and into the console.

Many Outrage 22's have a pump there.

Thanks Joe ,

Where does the discharge tubing go ? It won't go thru the same hole . It is 3/4 IN tubing ... I hope I dont have to drill a hole ?

Thanks Bob

How big is that hole?

My Outrage 22' Cuddy was slightly different but did run into the rigging tunnel and then out the starboard side where the access panels are.

You can see the discharge fitting here is this photo which is factory for the Cuddy.

Joe ,
The hole is no larger than 1 inch . I think maybe 3/4 . It has a plug thing with string attached to pull wire thru . I guess I could get an adapter and go to lower size tubing ? I was gonna at this time run it to the rigging tunnel and leave it at that . I am not thrilled about putting a hole in the side .. It does look neat though ??

Thanks again , Bob
