After I sent my post, I looked at your photos and noticed the vent at the bottom of the starboard couch and wondered if that’s where you a/c was located. You may want to open up your circuit breaker panel and see if that orange wire comes up in there since there’s nothing else on the starboard side for it to go to in that area. Another place to look might be your engine room. Look on the starboard side where your genset and shore power feed through to your circuit breaker panel, as the orange wire may exit there to the engine area.

Found out where that weird orange wire led.
Turns out there was an A/C outlet hidden behind the cabinet that houses the stereo.

Weird that they'd install an outlet with USB ports when you could easily get a USB charger that is run from 12V
