Has anyone needed to rewire from engine through to batteries on a Bavaria 42? Getting to the cables and understanding where they go and where they're from is proving to be a considerable challenge. It almost seems that the wiring was done before installing the nav table.
Any hints or help (a diagram would be a good start) would be welcome.
Why not just fit an eye to one end of the new cable and bolt it to the end of the old cable, then just pull it through?

I suspect that's easier said than done!
Lots of cable ties!!! And I can't see a way to get access behind the Nav station. Well, not without removing a whole lot of cabinetry. Maybe I'll just have to run new cables and find an alternative route.
I have no doubt that all wiring and piping is done prior to cabinets - good for production, good enough for charter companies that need the boat for only 5 years, a maintenance headache for us who keep the boats for many years.
I did not have to replace these cables but did need to run some new wires - I used an electricians "fish tape" and two people were required - one pushing it and sticking hands as deep as possible and one sticking hands as deep as possible on the other side trying to catch the tape - it requires pulling, pushing and wiggling since some times the tape reaches a "dead end".
