And an uninspectable spot. It's unorthodox, at least, and should
be avoided. The cables need to be rerouted via fairleads or rubbing
blocks to separate them, not sleeved.

An access cover in the belly does NOT make the cables inspectable when they
are covered by a sleeve. Can you detect broken strands?
Separate them positively with a pulley or fairleads please. It doesn't add
much weight and will prevent all kinds of wear and corrosion problems while
remaining inspectable.
