Hi Brad
There is room inside the pedestal, I've got the power and Seatalk NG
wires for a Ray chartplotter running through mine. The reason I went
that route was that there had previously been the wiring for the wheel
drive (autopilot) running through there, so there is already a hole in
the pedestal tube.
On my previous boat there were some instruments on a pod on the pedestal
guard, the wiring ran through the guard tube and into the boat that
way. Worked well, and was arguably a cleaner install. You can drill the
exit hole much closer to the instrument.
Just be sure you use grommets so the metal edge doesn't chew thru the
wiring...

How much stuff is inside the Edson pedestal on a C&C 33 II? Shift cable,
throttle cable and steering shaft? I've seen a few references to drilling into the
guard and running the wiring inside it, but wondered if there was more empty space
in the pedestal itself? There should already be a substantial hole in the deck at
that point. There is going to be a good sized bundle of wire running up with the
plotter, the autopilot head, and the power for the drive unit. Is there a better
place to put this stuff that I'm not thinking about? (bought a RAM mount with a
clamp to the ped. guard)
I'm just overthinking the install of the new instruments on our new boat and
don't want to hack something up I didn't need to.
Thanx
