Fishing wire through E Series tower

[fav321]

Hi all, I was planning to add a light bar this winter and I was planning on putting it on the forward bar of the tower as the main bar is pretty crowded with speakers as you can see in the picture.
I was wondering if anyone has had any luck fishing wire through the forward bar of the e series tower.
I would have to go down the starboard side as the port side is completely full with the speaker wires.
I am not really sure if there is even a hole on the inside of the tower where the forward bar connects to the main bar of the tower where it is welded together.
Any insights on this? It would be nice to know before I drill holes in the forward bar.

Thanks

yes, you can fish wire through the forward hoop to the main leg, it is open. There should be plenty of room to get additional wiring through the elbow by the windshield and the hole that passes through the deck.

I have found the easiest way is to use a slim electricians fish-tape with contractors string taped to it. Go through the light bar's wire hole in the hoop and fish down to the elbow with the tower folded. Once the tape hits bottom, reach in with a hook and snag the string out.

Thanks for the quick response, I guess thats what I'll do. Good idea with the hook.

Thanks

IVE WIRED A TON OF TIGES FOR LIGHTS AND SPEAKERS AND FOUND IT WAS EASIER TO TAKE THE TOP HALF OF THE TOWER OFF THE BOAT TO DO IT.

When I ran my wires, I first drilled the holes than I tied thread to a piece of cotton. I stuck the cotton in one hole and use a shopvac to suck it out the other. I than used the thread to pull a large twine through to be used for pulling the wires. It was very fast.
