R29 Classic, cable routing on starboard side. Need some advice.

[billrh42]

I need to route a new autopilot cable on my 2010 R29 classic. I've updated the autopilot and need to route the new cable from the new course computer under the refrigerator to the steering module in the back of the boat. The cable will be routed along the starboard side of the boat behind the sink/cabinet area and behind the stove/oven. Has anyone routed a cable in this area? I think I need to remove the stove/oven to access the hole where all the cables are routed into the starboard cockpit. I'm not sure there is enough space in the hole to push this new cable through since there are a lot of other cables in that space. This boat has a generator which is blocking easy access to the hole from the cockpit area. So it's looking like the oven needs to be pulled out.

Hopefully someone else has routed a cable in this area and can give me some advice.

Thank you.

Removing the stove was the key to getting enough access to the starboard side. The stove removal is 7 screws and disconnecting the propane line. The cable was just long enough to reach. Glad that project is done and I love the new GHC 50 autopilot display.

Hi. Yes removing the stove helps access a lot back there. Alternatively - could you go down the middle under cabin floor. Access this by removing some of the cave bunk. Then there is a hole to engine room approx in middle of boat you can access by lifting inside engine hatch.
Good Luck!
