The Grady 228 project boat i bought had its teleflex cables and wiring harness cannibalized so I am unable to see where they went. I am guessing that the entrance is underneath the binnacle throttle lever hole somewhere. There are wires that disappear to the starboard side of that opening but I dont see anything i would be confident in trying to wiggle a plumbers snake down. Is there a rigging tube entrance i should see? What does the rigging tube look like? Same question for the back. Where does the tube exit and should i be able to see it? Do i need a bore scope to see it? Thanks all!
 
generally speaking Grady run a pvc tube down the starboard side from helm to battery compartment.
If you get your model/year manual from gradywhite.com it will show layout of tubes.
 
Many have side kick panels that can be removed in the helm to get access at that end. There are tubes on both sides in some models. As stated, they tend to run from the helm area to about 2-3' from the transom. Wires can run up the stanchion tubes that hold up the hard top to the radio box and then from the tubes up under the dash to the fuse box and other locations. The radio remote somtimes run under the headliner starboard to port with running lights up the sides to the bow lights and electronic switches if equipped.
