Want to connect a second transducer, and will need run cable from starboard aft lazarette to the Garmin at the helm.
I see what appears to be a 4-5inch white PVC pipe that seems to carry a lot of wires from the engine in the forward section of that lazarette. Can I snake the wire through this pipe? Where does it end? Or should I I try another way?

The pipe is just forward of the hot water tank (right)
Where is the other end?

That pipe is a short run that then angles at 45 degrees into another pipe, so you wouldn’t be able to feed a wire through it. The best way is to run the wire from the starboard lazarette into the head, and then from the head toward the dash.

Thank you so much!
I found the "access panel" behind the helm, in the V-berth. It's tricky to get out, but once out I think I could re-direct any wire coming from aft up and into the instrument box. If I understand, I need to route up into the head and then find an opening where I can reach through the wall and redirect the wire forward. Is that correct?

In the head, there is a triangular panel under the sink. Lifting it out reveals some new stuff. I did not know this was accessible:

Then, I looked under the sink in the galley area. There is a wall at the back of the cupboards with about 6-8" space behind it. By holding my phone so the camera is over the edge, I could take a picture to see what is below. Good news! I can see all the way to the small group of through-hull drain ports on the starboard side. That means it's pretty low in the boat - just above water line. Notice the sink drain on the left, and again on the right it can be seen on the other side of the wall.

This all looks like I might be able to drop a string of the edge and then MAYBE hook it with a wire from aft if I can find this bank of hose exits.
