Rigging Tube

[Hyena Love]

I want to run some stuff from the bridge to the top of a half tower. The bundle of wires is too big to conveniently run up the tower leg. So, it will be in a tube/hose/conduit that is affixed to the tower leg.

So, the question is - what tube/hose/conduit? I need about an inch diameter, want it to be water tight, and be UV resistant.

Thanks.

White spa flex would look best when 1st installed IMO, but it does degrade in the sun. Grey liquidtite conduit is better uv protection, but gives a more industrial look. Both conduits come in nominal tubing sizes, so you can use PVC glue and fittings or compression type bulkhead fittings.

When I put an instrument box above the flybridge I used PVC pipe, primed and painted, between the flybridge console top and the underside of the box. Cheap, can be glued using epoxy or PVC pipe cement, lightweight, easy to find, and corrosion and rot resistant.

Can you have Noe weld a "feeder pipe" to the existing structure?

Good ideas. Thanks guys.

Tom - I'm trying to avoid a trip to the yard and the all the fun that occurs when dealing with boat yards.

Thanks again.
