I recently installed some ropelights under the gunnels of my outrage 18 and since then my bow and stern lights will not work.
When I purchased the ropelights, i also purchased new bow lights (which have been tested and both work). When i connect them to the wires that go through the hull and connect them to the battery, i get no light.
There are 2 wires on the Starboard side behind the side panel and go into the hull of the boat from the CC (I am assuming they go through the hull and come out to the port and starboard lights???)
I am wondering if maybe I could have severed the wires with the coat hanger when I was fishing the ropelights to the CC???
My rope lights work great, but now I have now Bow or Stern lights!!!
