Thanks for all the help. Allen - I particularly appreciate knowing that the
Icom cable won't fit without cutting it. That will save me a lot of time.

Lifting the pedestal and drilling another hole is exactly what I did.
Lifting the guard is not an easy job; it took 2 of us to wiggle it up enough
to get a drill into the base. Make sure you caulk well when putting
everything back together again.
Also, the ICOM does not come with quite enough cable to get back to the
radio; order the 10-foot extension cable when you order the radio.
Also, the fitting at the end of the ICOM cable that is supposed to plug into
the back of the radio will not go through the tube and the instructions that
come with the ICOM are clear - do not cut the cable. So I called the
company and they told me that as long as you splice all 9 or 10 color coded
wires back together correctly, cutting the cable should not be a problem.
So that is what I did and reconnected them via a bus mounted on the bulkhead
forward of the refrigerator compressor. The radio has worked perfectly for
about 4 years now with no issues. This is a great upgrade.

I put my RAM plug just aft of the propane locker and the mike on a mike
clip on the strern lower rail. Easy to reach from the helm and much easer
to install.
No wire splices, just run the wire along the port side. You will need the 10
ft. extension.

Another easy installation is to put the remote microphone jack toward the
aft end of the port locker, under the seat. The wire easily reaches to a
clip that can be installed on the port side of the engine instrument pod.

Why lift the pedestal? just measure - carefully twice - and drill
up from below, also think about running a cat5 wire from the pedestal to
the nav station at the same time for future use
