[C320-list] How deep do I drill?

[Warren Updike]

I found the interior cable behind the holding tank as you seem to have done. I assumed this is the battery end of the cable buried in the deck under the sea hood.

Further to this - investigation showed I had drilled right through a cable so I cut back the gelcoat and dig around and eventually found a coiled length of cable with black and white cores
However I seem to have TWO ends, nit sure what is leading where? Have I drilled through some unrelated cable I wonder, nit that I can think of anything else that would run there?
The next problem is finding the other end of this cable. There is a similar cable hanging down hear the holding tank but this is not electrically continuous with the cable at the deck
Or is this cable designed to pull a new cable through rather than as an actual electrical connection?
Any help much appreciated!
