I have a 2013 Ranger 520C and am trying to run my Ethernet cable but am having a tough time getting it to run through the conduit? Anybody have any suggestions on how it is supposed to be done?

Not sure, you may have to google running an ethernet cable, you'll be able to find an answer there.

Pull a "pull-string" trough the conduit first. I'd connect a terminator to the cable connector, then tie the string behind the cable connector and tape the string to the terminator. The terminator will help act as a guide and make it easier to pull it through.

Also, try to keep it on top of any other cables in the conduit.

You can pick up a fish tape at lowes or Home Depot for about $12 , you can run the fish tape through the conduit and either use black electrical tape to tape the nmea cable to the fish tape or tie a string/rope to the fish tape and pull that through and then tie to your nmea cable and pull it through with the rope/string if that makes sense.
The fish tape while be something you will use all around the house so it is a very good investment   
Stop by the Garage and let me know if you have Maintenance issues that you need assistance with.

Pull an extra string through and leave it, if you ever need to pull another wire or cable through you're ready.
