pvc pipe in rebuilds.

[saltfly]

I was just wondering how some of you feel about this topic . I see everyone using white pvc pipe for feeder tubes. If you look at the problems most have with these tubes, when running harnesses. The question comes up. why not use pvc that is gray and bought in  electical dept.s of most suppliers? My reason is this. in white 90 degree bends and very tight. In gray they are a sweeping bend. Which makes for a smoother transistion for feeding harnesses. I am interested in how others feel about this topic. I will be doing my 222ccp deck soon and plan on replacing my feeder tubes and will be using the gray, for the above mentioned reason. :)

I would probably use the conduit as well.  Many may not even know the difference.

Offsets come in handy too.

Another key, especially the rigging tubes in the hull, is to use the largest diameter that will fit.  Every pull goes much smoother, and having to pull something later is that much easier...

Yep.  And do not tape the wires into nice neat bundles before pulling them in.  PITA later when you want to put something else in or you want to use one of the wires to pull new ones in.

I always would leave a "pull" line or two exposed, made of something like parachute cord, to pull stuff with down the road. Would also do the same thing with T tops....

Best wishes on the rebuild!
