I am in the process of installing a Lewmar electric winch on the port cabin top (across from the starboard winch). Any recommendations for running the power cables? I have installed the winch, so now I need to run the cables from the winch down to the area behind the port hanging locker where you get access to the rear of the engine. The positive power cable for the starboard winch is already there.

BTW, I highly reccomend this upgrade to anyone with a 49 or 50. It makes main furling tremendously easy, I have seen people take the port side cabin top lines over to the stbd winch, but this leads to dangerous overwraps.
The modification is moderate skill set, but you may want a pro involved for the wiring.
