    Can anyone tell me how to run a power line directly from the battery to the overhead console of a Pete 386. I have a big radio I want to install and need power directly from the battery. How do I gain access to the A post to run this lead. Thanks

    Why not follow the coax line out. At least you would be halfway there

    If you really need that kind of amps up there, besure and have afuse or breaker at the battery end, also all them amps will mean you need a good ground, so run a negitive with the hot lead, and watch for sharp edges routong is how you like it.
