I bought this boat used 1 year old with 16 hours. I love it! Nantucket Sound out of the Bass River
My boat did not come equipped with a Spotlight. I notice typically the factory mounting position is at the bow just to the side of the Anchor.
Question # 1 Did Regal pre-wire between the Bow and the Dashboard that could be tapped into for the controller and the light itself in case I install at the manufacturers default location?
Or question #2 Can I install, the light on the Power Tower (My preferred Option) and run the spotlight wire harness to the Dashboard by somehow using the starboard side solely.
The reason I ask about the starboard side is because the factory lighting wiring that routs to the top of the arch for the mooring light and the inside cockpit lights routs through the Port side.
And I have no idea how to go from the arch Port side through and into the Battery/Switches area, and then over or under the sliding cabin door and on to the Dashboard.
If I had a proper wiring diagram, I could probably figure this out. Hint Hint.
I have been able to snake this far.
So, here's is the rub; I can't find a chase (continuous opening) from just below the hinge through to the dashboard. Like there is a blocker wall in between.
Do I need to (can I) go into and out of the engine compartment to make this work?
Any help or ideas would be most appreciated.

- Downwards from the top of the Tower and through the Power towers' Hinge and into the starboard Sidewall of the boat.
- From the Dash through and past the Drivers seat.
- There seems to be a solid obstacle that will not let the above 2 connect to each other directly
