Default Wtf!?

Ok I've owned a few boats, but this one has given me the most WTF moments lol. 1997 Maxum 2700. On the side storage compartment looks to be a battery terminal for a windlass. My boat clearly has no windlass, but I could not find the second red in the engine hatch. Any ideas what this would be? Lord this boat is confusing me 😂

Send Whiskey please!!! Losing my mind.

Yes some pictures would help. This is 1997 and sounds like previous owners may have made modifications.

Could you be more specific regarding the storage compartments location? Port, Stb, forward,aft?

I'm guessing might be referring to a bow or anchor locker with a thick "00" or larger positive cable. Some boats came pre-wired for a windlass even if one wasn't installed.

It would typically go back to a large (100 amp) fuse then to the battery if you're working backwards.
