Well it all depends.
If you are lucky, there is a spare wire not tie wrapped you could use to pull it.

If not, then look for an existing wire or cable that is not tie wrapped in the hull. Use it to pull 2 wires in thru the hull leave one and use the other to pull the new line plus the existing line back thru.


If they are tie wrapped in the hull. The it's a matter of trying to snake a fish tape thru. If this is the case you probably need 2 people one on each end. Have the other person move the cables around to help make room for the fish tape to go thru.

What they said is the way I did mine before.

It looks like the throttle and shifter cable may not be tie wrapped. It is not very hard to disconnnect one of those and use.


However, I'd try another wire first.

I have Garmin441S. Just got it last year. It has fishfinder and gps. I love it. Paid like $500 for everything. And I have trim tabs but I broke the switch and can't find a new one. I just pulled them all the way up.
