pvc pipe runner for wiring
 

redoing my 74 tsuami and i want to put a 3 or 4 inch pvc pipe runner for wires and steering under the floor. is there foam under the floor from the helm down to the transom or is it hollow underneath the floor. i dont want to pull up the whole floor but there are some soft spots and if i am going to restore this thing i had better do it right.can anyone tell me if it is just better to replace the whole floor now or just the soft spots and where i install the pipe. i don't mind spending the time- too many hours as of now to complain about that and the last thing i want to do is repair the floor a couple of years from now because soft spots keep developing.i believe doing it right the first time is the best way- so any input will be much appreciated.

When I redid wiring on my sceptre I ran it down the underside of the gunnel on the starboard side along with the control cables and steering. There were tubes glassed in but most disentigrated so I had to refasten. You could run PVC part way but it will eventually have to be cut to accomodate gunnel rod holders.

Trayder ran two 4" or 3" PVC tubes in his boat.. Check out the pictures of his boat
