Hi, I am planning to run a cable from the battery compartment, behind the heads, to the space below the aft port bunk - in order to place a DC plug for a flex solar panel near the external shower.

Has anybody already led a cable from the aft cabin to the chart table / batt compartment and knows an easy way? There's supposed to be an empty tube somewhere there, says the manual.

Thanks!

It is pretty easy actually. The empty conduit starts at the port aft corner of the port aft cabin, on the side under the plates of the bed. From here, going back to where the shower is is trivial, as there are openings in the matrix and the bulkhead.

It leads to the box where the shower pump is, in the toilet. From the toilet, going to the batteries is through the gap between the hull and the bulkhead, and further forward under the distribution panel.

You need a mouse line though: https://amzn.eu/d/8uWqYqu" rel="nofollow - https://amzn.eu/d/8uWqYqu

Otherwise might be a pain to go through the conduit.
