I am upgrading the 12v system on my 89' E- 38-200 and want to run another battery cable from the engine to my house bank. This way I have one going directly from the alternator to the house bank. I want the second cable to go from my starting battery switch directly to the starter. I will be using a combiner for charging the starting battery and replacing the 1,2, both switches with on/off versions. Will have a 3rd on off for parralleling the house and starting bank. The trouble I am finding is that the access to the bilge area where the existing cable to the engine is is simply not accessible. I am going to try and use a steel fish tape and the existing cable to get new ones run but I have my doubts about not running into some snags. I had planned on replacing the cabin sole but not until next winter. I had also wanted to replace some hoses from the bilge pump and and engine intake but they too look to be in similar situations. Has anyone tried replacing these cables or hoses without removing the sole?
