What the heck is this?

Last night I was working on getting my fish finder and CD player installed on my 95 Speedster, I had the glovebox hood open and the plastic tray that holds the tool pouch and fire extinguisher pulled out revealing my wires and steering cables. I was attempting to push a piece of cable through the hull to the engine compartment so that I could pull the wire for power to the cd player & depth finder as well as the transducer cable back thorough the boat. Which proved to be impossible as I have still not accomplished this task. I laid my beer down in the glovbox area to help keep me motivated, and keep me from wondering if I had lost it. After fishing around with the cable for 10 to 20 min, I reached down to retrieve my ice cold beverage when I noticed a rouge set of wires, not connected to anything just laying there? It was a red and black wire going into a connector the end of the connector had a cap on it, I removed the cap to the connector hooked my voltmeter up to the wires and found that they were 12 volt live. Pictured below is a picture of the connector. I looked in my manual and found NOTHING about them, it shows them but they are hooked to nothing. Does anybody know what these go to? I am thinking it might be the perfect power source for my CD playa?

By the way, does anybody know a good way to pull wires from this area to the back? :cheers:

Accessory power supply....

This is the accessory power supply. They are in almost every boat from 1995 and on.

Yeah, this is a great place for your CD player. But, when the electrical system is down, so is the CD player. So, if you want a constant hot, this is not the one you want.........:cheers:

That's fantastic that will save me a lot of work, thanks, now if I could only get that transducer wire pulled
