I need to get a couple of wires from the port cabin cabinet to the starboard cabinet for speakers and audio. Is my only clean route through the bilge?
Thanks!

You can go aft and run it under the companionway or forward and under the v berth.

A electricians snake helps a lot.

Ah yes. Didn't think of that. Longer runs but doable.
Thanks.

ps. The horizontal teak band strip that runs along the sides of the cabin to conceal the hull to deck joint is an excellent place to hide wiring. I just ran new wiring for my bow lights & this worked great to conceal & retain the wires.

I think going forward will be my easiest and shortest path. Now I'm on a quest for obtaining good tinned wire. Should have it all together soon.
