I changed to a more robust pedestal guard and installed extra wiring for eventual needs. Made sense to me.

Like you I already had power and other wheelpilot related wiring in addition to the NMEA2000 backbone and power for the Zeus.. No Issues. I used a combination of re-purposed wire coat hanger and a glowing fiberglass cabling rod to run the cables, a 10-15 minutes job.

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.
