Extra wiring in the bow

Hey all.....I have a 06 v16 SC and there is a set of wires up front behind the panel on the bow where the trolling motor power is connected. I have talked to the dealer in my area and they were no help so I called the customer relations # for tracker and was told that the wires should be hot and they would be for connecting a depth finder in the front of the boat which is what I am trying to do. The wires are black and a red with blue/purple stripe. I cant for the life of me see this wire under the console anywhere but it does run back that way to the console. It isn't connected into the fuse panel either so is it in the wiring harness somewhere?

I have ran my own wire up front for a depth finder and connected it to the fuse panel and everything works fine but would really like to use the other wires that are installed.

any help or ideas would be sweet on what else I can attempt.

Hi
If these wires are for the Trolling motor the wires should lead to the wiring harness to the fuse panel then back into a wiring harness that leads to your batteries. Sometimes they place these wires behind the fuse box "top" where you can't see them very well. Tale a closer inspection of your fuse box.

May have not been too clear. They are not for the trolling motor, I was just saying that is where I found them up front. There is just 2 wires that go to the front of the boat and are ready to be connected into something and are ran with the nav light from the console. I just cannot find the wire (red with purple stripe) under the console and I know for a fact that it is not hooked into the fuse panel.

I believe the trolling motor wire has a inline fuse or circuit breaker back where it connects to the battery, possibly the wire you can't find at the fuse panel has a inline fuse also.

Tracker has no schematic for the boat? Any power up there that is not for the trolling motor would most likely be coming from the crank battery VIA the console. DOes that boat have a fuse labeled accessory that is powering a bus the wires in question are hooked to?
