Got one  :P  but how does that help with the wireing :?:  Run it down the outside of the snorkal and in through the bodywork?

could run it inside the snorkel and through a grommet into the engine bay, wire up to the roof and use a plug and socket setup, first two options, I'm sure there will be some more options

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

Bit of pvc conduit or flexible conduit run up side of snorkel with cables inside - if you use flexy conduit you can get a gland to go through the bodywork to keep it tidy.
Either that or run up inside of windscreen and out through a grommet on the roof.

All depends how leakproof you want it!!

And it's easy running the wires through that conduct, hey Chris  :lol:

Makes for a very tidy finish though  :D

I'd go with the conduit or armoured cable cover run up the outside of the snorkel.  That way you've the least number of holes to seal and none that will hurt if they don't, plus your wiring is straight into the engine bay for your power relays.  Cheap trick, put your relays into a tupaware box sealed with silicone to keep out the water :!:
