Section 8 - Getting to know your Boston Whaler
305 Conquest-Owner’s Manual
Rigging the 305 Conquest
Boston Whaler® has installed several rigging troughs
throughout the hull and hardtop to allow the owner to
run new wiring for electronics. This diagram will show
the location and give instructions on how to run the wires.
RIGGING THE HARDTOP:
There is a removable headliner panel in the aft starboard
cabin that hides a 1/8” nylon cord. The panel is held in
place by 3 christmas tree clips. Use a christmas tree clip
remover to gently release the panel. There is an access
hole that holds the nylon rigging cord for the hardtop.
There is approximately 6ft.(1.82m) of cord at the cabin
and approximately 10ft. (3.04m) of cord at the hard-
top end. There is a tag at the end of each nylon cord that
says “DO NOT PULL”. Tie this cord around the end of
the electronics cable to run it up from the cabin or down
through the hardtop. The fiberglass hardtop has a chan-
nel that
will allow rigging from the hardtop frame through the
hardtop to the electronics box area on the forward sec-
tion of the hardtop.
RIGGING THE CONSOLE:
There is also a 1/8” nylon cord under the headliner that
will allow you to run rigging through to the con-
sole. The cord exits through a rigging hole behind the
helm console. Access can be gained though the upper
aft head compartment wall. The cabin door must be
closed before access can be made. If you must look
inside this access, USE CAUTION that the door is
closed and secured from opening before working in this
area.
