I'm stuck trying to get cables (in any direction) from the spotlight above the chart table.  This is where my two 6mm2 solar cables will come through the deck.  I have tried going aft of the saloon widow but that seems a solid moulding.  Also tried from the companionway light which I used in the 385 but there seems to be a solid bulkhead between that and the heads / holding tank area.

I have removed to forward-most light in the saloon and cannot see any way past the main carbon bulkhead / mast compression.  Sadly no mast cable duct with velcro cover as Ian has described on the 445.

I'm about to give up on using the hatch garage as a location for the solar and start looking at the area in front of the jib track.  Has anyone installed a panel here on a 458?

I haven’t tried installing cables yet, but I looked around with a fiber optic camera. It seemed possible to run cables from port side of the companionway at the top and down through the ceiling/bulkhead between the port berth and the engine compartment. From there, there is a relatively easy path under the bed to the hanging locker. There is an empty 1 1/2 inch plastic cable conduit which runs from the void aft of the cabin, under the mattress, to the hanging locker then behind or under the head to the electrical area under the nav table. The conduit is split in the hanging locker for cable ingress. You’d have to cut a couple holes along that path but they would be out of view. I had to snake a wire through that conduit for something else. It wasn’t easy because I think there is a big turn or just other cables in the vicinity of the exit. It took some rotation of the snake to get it through. I left a mousing string in there for future use.

I have used the same conduit to run a number of cables forward. You are right about the turn, there is a right angle (near enough) just before the DC panel. Leaving a length of line through it is a must.

Have your asked your dealer, they have access to detailed build plans on every aspect of the boat and may have something that can help you plan the best cabling route.
