Default Running electric to flybridge

I have a 4100 SCA and would like to run (110) electricity to the flybridge and inside the swim deck. I would like to install a small air compressor in the swim deck and then run the air hose out through the swim deck storage compartment. The swim deck can be accessed through the aft stateroom. I would like to have (110) electricity on the flybridge for electronic device use and some rope lighting. Could you reply if you know the best way to go about running electricity to these areas. I have only the owned this boat 4 months and not sure the best ways to install aftermarket stuff.

Thanks for your help.

By 'swimdeck' do you mean the swimplatfom? I'm not at all clear what you're trying to do here. You want to install a compressor IN the swim deck? Then want to run the hose OUT through the swim deck compartment? Maybe a picture would help.

As for the flybridge, the flybridge has guages, electric, electronics, steering cables and shift and throttle cables. Rather than figure out how to get up there, work your way down. Open the dash and look at how the existing cables and wiring is routed, then work your way down from there. As for lights, you would probably want to run a new circuit from the panel. Install a new breaker, then run the lights from the breaker. You don't want to use the existing outlets circuit. If you throw a breaker using a toaster or a blender, you don't want to introduce a blackout as a result. Keep outlets and lighting seperate. Fro taht matter, look into DC lighting using LED's. They will still run off of the shore popwer or a generator, provided the battery charger is turned on. They will also run without shore power. Not many (if an at all) AC lighting on a boat.
