Greetings,
On a C-28, is there any way to directly route a cable from the anchor locker to the fuse blocks in the head?
I could follow the circuitous route of the anchor wash down hose, port side below the bunk and cross over and up to the head. But it seems there should be a more direct route? (I am installing a Toad-Charge Towed Vehicle Battery charge/maintainer). Thanks for any advice!

Good luck !! The easiest run but long run would be port side to the cave then over the water tank then aft to the batteries or forward to the 12V panel in the head. I would suggest installing a battery switch and fuse where ever you run the power to so the added circuit can be turned off when not in use.

You may be able to the run starboard side if you cut a few holes in the cabin liner to pull a fish.
 
Thanks much Brian! The addition of a switch and fuse are good ideas!

Instead of that, I use an extra 30A power cord connected to the vehicle with the appropriate connecter and likewise back at the battery. I lay it out on the deck when trailering. I put a female connection at the batteries so the tines aren't exposed when not in use. A male connector is used on the truck, but I have a switch in the cab to turn it on so the exposed male plug is never hot without being connected to the cord. Also the cable connections are labeled "12V only". It works great to keep the refer going but I find I can only get maybe 3-4 amps through it even with the big 30A cord and 8-10ga wire in the truck.
