Here is one I did today. customers idea, I guess he is not worried about location interfering with paddling.

Any pics on how you guys route the wires thru the mast pipe? I am very interested. How do you seal it?

The mast pipe is behind the hatch and normally isn't going under water so it doesn't have to be watertight (at least I don't think so ). I use a couple of turns of electrical tape to keep water out and make a tighter seal but not perfect.

I have no pics of the kayak, since I just recently had a warranty replacement from Hobie. When I do the install, again, I will take pix this time.

I like the weights on the peddles. I'll have to do that.
You have to love the mast receptacles in the hobie as it allows for easy set up and removal. I need to have that ease for loading my yak on top of my Explorer. Here is how I have mine set up. I use the PVC to keep my nets from sliding off and I can have a light as well as room for the fish finder (when finances allow).
