I'm restoring and replacing the deck on a 17' aluminum now and am using PVC tube with 22-1/2 degree elbows to run the power from the batteries in the stern to the switch panels in the console and the elec.trolling motor on the bow.
I had all this stuff in my basement from my years in the hardware industry, so I saved some money, figured I'd put it to use.
I ran some 6 and 8 gauge wire through it as a test before I button up the deck.and it went through pretty easy.
Wish I did a rigging tube on my Tsunami in the restore, I hate to think of having to get into the wires and steering cables that are in the gunwhale with (I lost count) the tons of zip ties holding all that stuff together.
