H26 Lack of Conduit

This is the aft compartment, centerline of the boat, where there is the most room below the aft berth liner. I drilled a hole to allow the conduit to pass thru.
(the picture is rotated clockwise, I couldnt get it to the right orientation)

The 94 H26 that I have, has a lack of conduit or ease of running wiring from the aft compartment to over the galley where the OEM switch panel is.

I tried very hard to get new/additional wires in the one conduit that is there running through the starboard coaming with no success. I tried to add an additional conduit through there with no success. I finally settled on running a new 3/4 conduit under the aft berth floor to the galley cabinet. From there I installed a short conduit exiting the top of the galley and entering the overhead.

This is the conduit as it passes under the aft berth bilge.

This is where it enters into the galley cabinet.

You can just see behind the radio the gray conduit that exits the top of the galley and enters the overhead. Now wiring can be run from the aft compartment to the DC distribution panel over the galley.
