I'm a new 2014 307 Freedom owner that is trying to run power for my downriggers. Port side was easy. Starboard looked impossible . How did you run the power for your reels on the starboard side?

Port side is easy! Starboard side I had to remove the AC power cord connector and snake a wire up to a new hole for the 12 volt power.
 
After taking the AC power cord plate off, you snaked down to the batteries, then were able to pull a line back up to the plate?

Yes. Pull the receptacle out on it's power cable to get access. I drilled a hole for the Marinco 12 volt connector next to the AC power. Wire down to battery area. Installed a small fuse block to power my kite reels.

Take a look at post#3. Excuse the cable mess...this has since been cleaned up.

Just what I needed. Will be at the 307 on Friday. I'll update with the good news after.

Thanks,
