: First question, yes, you need to protect the resin from the UV, the reason

: Second question, where would you run the control to? If it's under deck and
: you wear a skirt there's no way to access the control, without popping the

Hi,

I'm doing the same as you and I'd second Bill's opinion re the need to protect the epoxy from UV damage. Regarding what to do with the deck lines why not run them under the deck and then exit them on the deck near the cockpit? That's my plan anyway
