jackg Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 does anyone know how to pull wire from the original depthfinder location so a new one can installed on a tracker 175 2005 model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 If the wire is there I tape a nylon cord to it as I pull it out then tie and tape the new cord on the nylon and pull it back through. If there is a chance you will ever want something else in there, pull 2 nylon cords at the same time and leave one. The other option is to buy a fish tape and use it.

crankpaint Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 look for a wire tie holding the wire if there is more then one wire going thru the hole chances are thay are wire tied together most boat builders do it that way to save time,i worked at a marina for almost ten years after retiring from the coast guard,BEEN THERE DONE THAT!!! run the new wire with a fish tape its faster then trying to pull the old wire out and if you pull on the old wire you might break another wire tied to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackg Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 crankpaint after looking at it I found that there is a chase running down the side thats attached with screws, when I get to the side panel that the gear shift is mounted on is there any thing I need to watch out for when removing this panel?
