Would anyone happen to know if it is solid metal underneath this plastic trim piece or is there an access hole underneath it? It feels like it may have a hollow spot underneath it, but hoping someone may know for sure. I am wanting to add another clamshell right behind the factory one to run hydraulic steering lines, but wanting to try and get a view of what is in that area first. Thanks in advance.
Solid. You've got access where the steering cables are currently.

Thanks for the response, much appreciated! I have added and run a lot of electronics through the clam shell from front to rear, so it will be tight removing the one steering cable and replacing it with the 2 seastar upgraded Kevlar hydraulic lines. Hopeful they will make it, but was preparing for a backup plan just in case.
Its hollow underneath on my 2018 RT188. I found a gap between the metal when you look up underneath from the back compartment. I used it to run wires for my LED lights strips on the gunnel. I also pushed my extra transducer cable into that are from the hole were the tube runs to the center console.
