The original wires for the bow light were either in the hull (inaccessible) or in the receiver track of the rubrail to the stern quarter where there was a hole drilled through the gunnel.
There was a buss bar and cover mounted over the hole on the gunnel. The stern light wire (loose) also connected to the bus bar. A 3rd set of wires went from the buss bar to the console to feed a switch. The positive to the switch and negative to ground.
