i can help with your wiring route. on my 405 i have done this for a nmea200 network, starting on the stbd side at the helm seat look down at the white vinyl trim on the floor and there will be screws in the carpeted cubbies that you unscrew and this whole piece will slide off. next the large stbd padded vinyl piece on the wall will reveal a access hatch behind it. to remove it mine had one screw with a trim ring located low and about where the step is. if there are othersremove them, unscrew this and lift the whole panel up and not out it is held in place with the same interlocking mounts that you found behind the front bench when you took that seat back off. then go inside below that area on that stbd wall(this might be optional depending on how much access you need) and there is a small triangular piece on the level of the window that is held in place with velcro mine had the co monitor installed on it. pull that out, then open the cabinet doors the vertical door and the lower door on the left. both have interior small access panels that unscrew. remove them you will then see the existing wiring running to the engine compartment. sorry this is long winded its really quite easy and good access. if you run into trouble let me know in case i left something out

Thanks Nharrison5!

Thanks G36, at least you have given me a starting point.

I also installed the Raymarine es78, in hull transducer, and radar. I interfaced the es78 mfd with the 1st generation seatalk 850 autopilot. Raymarine support directed me to purchase the seatalk 1 to seatalkng converter. Everything communicates with full functionality. Make sure you take advantage of their knowledge and service.

Working with my Raystar 125 GPS. Appears to have no power from E120 to the GPS receiver. No light on receiver blinking. Does anyone know how to test for power?
