450: 2015 Lagoon 450F Wiring

[ElJefeLagoon]

I have no chartplotter; only wind, autopilot and depth. We are installing a new chartplotter and independent VHF in the flybridge. We can't find how the wiring gets up there. Do I have to take the headliners down in the main salon? There has to be an easier way.

The wiring is accessed through the top and side panels inside the salon cupboards which are under the helm. Empty the cupboards, unscrew the access panels. I have laid a VHF remote cable and an alarm cable to the helm station, fiddly but not hard to do. The fiber glass instrument holder at the helm is held on by horizontal screws and lifts off exposing a central hole which all the wires go down. Use a coat hanger wire to pull wires through

We figured it out. We removed the cover at the helm where the instruments are mounted. There is also wiring in the master stateroom behind and around the AC/DC electrical panel.

Now to get the wiring from the radar on the mast over to the chart plotter in the helm. That's a whole different challenge.

We did not have to go through the little cabinet by the companionway!

I'll never understand why Lagoon chose to use corrugated tubing for their wire runs. Trying to resnake one of those is well. . .Mine is a 2012. I wonder if they used the same black corrugated tubing through the years? And they really could supply a wire chase running thru the ceiling for a mast> Helm wire run? Or do they and I dont know about it

The mast wires come out behind settee next to nav station (there is an access panel). Not sure which direction they go from there to the electrical cabinet, maybe under the floor or through the back settee panel to the hull underfloor. In some of our conduits there is green nylon mousing line - never had to pull them to find out where they lead to.
