Anyone aware of a path from the helm to the stereo? Just installed a Fusion NRX remote at the helm and don't see an obvious path to the stereo location. Need to run a NMEA 2000 cable.

Did this a few years ago to run a new Remote from Helm to Stereo. Used a fishtape in Cabin Ceiling from Dome light, to Port Wiper Moto Cover, then around the side to Stereo. It was not intuitive, but worked fine. Kind of a Triangle. I could not find a good path from Bilge, Aft Berth up to Stereo.

I ended up snaking the cable down the starboard side where I was able to access inside of the aft panel in the berth, past the forward bilge, and followed the AC duct which went behind the microwave. Once I pulled the microwave out I was able to make a small hole to pull the cable into the window shelf and finally up into the back side of the stereo shelf.

Once complete, I realized how intuitive the Fusion phone app and watch app were. Nice to have but probably not worth it in the end.
