Lol... it’s just a wire chase. My brother in law had the pipe laying around so I used it. A bit overkill but it was free!!

I see, my advice if your not making a center console boat where there has to be a center conduit to route all wiring forward is to keep all your wiring under the gunnels so it will stay dry. Sooner or later that pipe is going to become full of water even with holes drilled in it, stuff will get in and plug them up.

Thank you. Planning for all my wires to go under the gunnels. This is “just in case”, for future use if the need shall arise. It’s open towards the front, and I drilled holes all along the bottom to release any water that might get I’m. I’m planning on storing this boat inside all year long so it should stay pretty dry.
