Yes, What foam did you use, also is this water-line pipe? any pics of how you bring this out to meet the nav-lights and battery hook-up. thanks, john

yes this is a water pipe type tube that I used. The foam that I am using is Great Stuff it may not be some peoples first choice but it has always worked perfect for me ( the only problem I have experienced is holes from bubbles that have to be refilled after it cures). It's easy to use, trim, sand, cover and is very durable. I don't have pics of the inside yet but the tube comes out the side beside the console location.

And it looks like you pre-loaded the wire correct? what size wire and how many strands? thanks for the info, it look good. john

november is is just as nice.Shock

Digitalvet, it is 14 gauge as far as number of strands i'm not sure it's "very" fine strands. this wire is very flexible almost rubber feeling which makes it easier to pull through. I didn't really preload it, I had pulled it through to make sure i would be able to get it through later I attached steel wire and pulled that back through ( hand soap made it easy pull and won't be an issue when I paint).

Hey folks, new to this issue...
I need to rewire a 17' Whaler.. How do the wires run through the hull?
#9 | Turpin on November 10, 2008 - 1:54 AM
if it was anything like mine, they ran some where other than the rail( somewhere in the hull). The easiest way to rewire would be under the rub rail.
