Guess I’ll start a new thread .....
Trying to run wires from the bow into the console. Traced the bow light to the access portal by the fuel fill. There appears to be a ground wire and the nav lights running down from that portal towards the console. For the life of me I can’t get from that portal to the console😡. Any tips or tricks? Is there another better way to do it? I’ve seen other day they’ve run wires from the bow but no one gives th details on exactly how. Thanks for any help.

Alternatively you could run them down the side of the hull to the bilge and direct to the console via one of the two raceways.
This is how I ran my speaker wires near the bow seating area.

I was able to fish 8awg wire from the bow to the CC via the very small space under the floor of the starboard side. Access panel or speaker below the fuel fill. Attached the 8awg to the speaker wire and pulled it through to under the Console of the CC. Coated the wire with grease in doing it, helped a lot. Fishing the wire from the bow to the fuel cap was easy, going under the floor was a bitch.
Good Luck.

I ran the cable wire for my windlass from the bow into the console. Using a wire snake and fishing line. I removed one of the larger grommets that hold the fishing rods and removed the front speaker and I was able to get to the bow. Then I ran the snake from inside the console up to that grommet that holds the fishing rods.

I had to rewire my bow light on my 2006 2660CC. 1. I ran a wire snake from the anchor locker to the front port speaker. 2. Then I used the wire snake from the bow floor storage to the front port speaker. There is a small gap between the bow floor storage box and the floor. 3. Then I used the wire snake from the bow floor storage, to the front bilge pump access port, inside the CC. 4. Then I used the wire snake from the front bilge pump access port to the battery compartment by pushing the wire snake next to the sink and step in the CC. 5. Then I was able to feed the wire from the battery compartment to the wiring compartment in the CC.
After each step, I pulled the wire through the access points.

Thanks all! Wire showed up today so all of these options should give me a good start.
