Camera hook up to aft deck of a carver 356 aft cabin


Apologize in advance for opening a similar subject that was in this forum already (from 2013). Not sure I should have piggy-back to it or do this new post. I have carver 356 aft cabin. with 13'.3" beam, my slip is little under 14', talk about a tight slip. But location is great so I could not pass it up. Anyway, 2 months into our boating, went out maybe 4-5 times so far, first time used the mooring in center due to too much wind to make it back to slip. 2nd time went in forward for convenience factor, and rest of times Preferred method backing in, which works out fine as long as I have capable help on board and no wind. With about 3 inches to spare in my slip crew yells a lot, causing embarrassment for the captain (that be me :-D ). Long story short I purchased a backup camera, and my plotter has video in. Now I am trying to wire the camera to back (top of aft cabin), but not sure how difficult it would be to pull the wires from the ceiling of aft deck, through port side down to floor, where there is tracking channel to pull wires into command center for power and display device. I think having camera will help backing in so much better. I have perfect location in back for camera, and would have no problem once I get the wires to console base. I am sure there are already wires coming from ceiling of aft deck as there are 2 pod lights there with switch being at aft deck. Any advice from anyone? if anyone done something like this, maybe post some pic of it? Thanks.
