I think I've seen (on other boats) a single romex line exposed from the upper trim area, to the below deck storage areas, but I was wondering if there was a more 'pro' way to run that line.
Any and all help GREATLY appreciated!

That,s not good, I,m always looking for ways to up-grade my electrical systems when newer & better Ideals come out like I installed a Galvanic Isulator to my 120volt system over the winter , removing all those little fuse holder,s attached to the pos post on the battery & installing a labeled fuse panel identifying what each fuse is for with a little red led light on each fuse system which will light up so u know which fuse is blown with-out having to figure it out which can b a great time saver in an emg. situation

So when u see a liitle red led light on u know right away u have a blown fuse for what ever reason rather than saying jeuss I wonder why my bilge pump did not turn on![]()

The advice I received was;
1) to keep A/C runs out if the bilge (it can fill with water) so hang from unsdersidenif beth area.
2) Keep the plastic pipe runs with open holes for moisture to be realeased. I was going to use closed pipe runs (like you do outside the house) but was told this is bad for in boats because moisture will always get in and need a way let out. Still not sure about this?!
