Alternative wiring routes on a 2015 H260

[BigTann]

I'm Starting to realize the factory wiring routes are... less than ideal in a few spots, adding a couple of accessories like a second battery switch, a new stereo amp, and eventually some underwater lights and I'd really prefer not to keep threading everything through the tightest, most miserable factory channels, so if anyone can help me out trying to reroute or run alternative wiring paths on the H260 (or something similar in the horizon series), I need clean paths that don't involve tearing up the whole interior or squeezing my arm through a 4 inch access port with zero visibility.

This is one of those projects where I'd rather do it right the first time, even if it takes longer so thats why I'm trying to get a sense of what right looks like

I totally get it, dealing with the factory wiring on the H260 can really drive you nuts. I've seen some people running flex conduit thru the back floor and lockers. It's a pretty clever way to tidy things up without having to tear the place apart. Are you thinking about trying that? I'm curious, what areas are causing you the most grief?

Yeah man, rerouting on an H260 can definitely be a headache!
For your battery switch and amp, consider following the existing main battery cables as far as possible, then deviating upwards into the gunwale area.
Often, there's a decent channel behind the coaming pads that offers more room than the factory runs down low.
Then for the underwater lights, the transom area below the swim platform often has a natural void you can leverage to get the wiring into the bilge without too much fuss, then you can work it forward.
It's often about finding those less obvious, often vertical, pathways that the factory avoided for production speed.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes!
