How to run cable to Anchor Compartment Port side

Hi, I am trying to run a TV cable from from behind the Galley, port side for a mid cabin entrance - TV installation to the Anchor line compartment at the Bow.
I see wires coming into the Compartment from the Port side & There area some screws on that back panel in the compartment.
I guess the speaker can also be removed.
But, any Ideas where I go from there? I dont see how to remove any of the padded walls.
Thanks. John G.

The padded "backrest" usually comes off in one, horseshoe shaped piece. There are L-brackets holding it on - along the backside of the backrest. But, no real reason to take it off. Just run the wire behind the backrest and drill a small hole in the mirror bulkhead. Fill it with silicone. You drill a similar hole behind the backrest, where it butts up against the galley.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Still a little confused. I get the Gally part But:
I can Drill a hole to the left of the Front Mirror and that will get me into the Anchor Compartment? How do I get behing the padded peice or do I drill through that?
Thanks Again, John G

Yup, just drill through the padded piece, too. If the hole is far enough down and as close to the back rest as possible, you'll never even notice it. Try to stay at least a few inches inboard of the actual hull (the sloped part, on the inside).

not sure about your boat but: there could be some screws holding mirror panel behind reading lights and behind speakers
in some older boats they used to install bolsters driving screws right through fabric

OK, Thank all for the help.
All Looks good. I Took the front Speaker down so now I can drill small hole for cable right into the compartment.
There is a vent on the side of the galley cabinet ( guess for the Refrigerator ) I could come at of that or drill hole lower right at top of the back rest height and slip the cable all the way around.
no problem. Now I need the better cable ( not junk RG-6 ) to run and Im golden John G.
