I have a 2000 Lund Explorer 1650 SS. I’m trying to run a 12 volt line from under the console to below the floor in the bow for adding a bow mounted device. I’ve taken the plastic cover off the console hoping to find a run – no luck. I was able to fish something that seems to be far enough back (see second picture) from the starboard side compartment just in front of the livewell. In the second picture, I’m tempted to drill a hole to see if I can find the fish tape (first picture, in the area below the starboard rod storage, and above the floor decking).
I’d like to avoid drilling a hole, but I can’t see any other way. There aren’t any conduits from the back like newer boats.
Thanks for any advice. I’m hoping not to add another battery just for the finder up front. I’ve been told to keep the power to a finder separate from trolling motor to avoid interference.
