Here's a good profile. You can see the cables running from the cradle up through the bow thruster tunnel, and up through the hausepipes. I'm assuming it's all part of securing the boat for it's ride across the Pacific.

One thing we added along the way was this stainless bash plate and tow eye. The tow eye is a great attachment point for an anchor snubber, and the plate helps protect against strikes of logs and the like. It's hard to see in the picture, but it extends about 8" below the water line.
