LOL, you made me curious so I went back and double checked. The lines, are the throttle line, the steering line, and the lines that run for the controls of the electric trim.

They run to the corner then inside the side rail right to the console and front (there is a trim switch up front next to the outlet for the TM).

I am thinking they run that way because with their position, it was just easier to run through the rail and access them for service. The back deck is full of floatation foam that they injected in there. It is rock solid forward the batteries and fuel tank.

Because of their location the fuel line and hook up to the cranking battery do run under the deck and come up right there ahead of the transom.

Real nice boat/motor package.Good Luck!

Congrats,she's a beautiful boat!
