If a battery charger is placed forward of the engine compartment (which was the only way...) those wires would be for that. I have a complete wiring schematic that I made for my rebuild, USCG approved and with triple instalation, six batteries, and an unreal charging system where you can read what you have left on your batteries as well as what was charged. Let me know if you want it...

I have a Center Console 34' SS and placed my Xantrex Charger/Inverter in the CC due to cooling issues as well as water issues. In order to do that I needed 2AWG cables from the back (where the charging relays and the batteries are located) to the Xantrex.

And another...
Like many others I bought this one as a wreck and did ALL the resto myself. It has been a ton of fun and I realize I will never get 100% done, and that is part of the fun. Next project is to get my outer engines lifted out of the water so I can gain a few MPH... Goal is 88MPH but I have lots to do before I'm there... Lots of fun too...

Kims- once again very nice. I like everything you have done to your boat.
Here are the updated pics of the bilge- (Thanks Eric!!) I think it came out way better than I expected- updates the boat into this century in my opinion.

And while it was in the paint booth- they fixed all the holes and stuff we missed the first time we painted it, there were quite a few since originally I thought I would run the arch-
