[QUOTE="electropro, post: 2985268, member: 575302"] First off, the marine environment is a very hostile place for electrical connections. Probably corrosion. Take speakers and headunit out and gently tug on existing speaker wires, you may get lucky and see the wire move at one end. If so you can use the old wire to pull the new wire in. If not [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif[/IMG] , you'll have to get creative.

It is made of rubber/plastic and can be glued down to boat floor. It is low profile, so you won't trip on it. If If that will not work for you, try using the gunwales to route your wires.
