There should be a junction box on the port side (early models) where it is then split and sent directly to the stern light and then thru the rub rail to the bow light.

The wiring for the bow light is located in a through hole about 24" forward of the transome in the starbord side. The hole is directly behind the rub rail. The wiring runs behind the rub rail to the bow where another hole is drilled straight down the centerline to the location under the bow light. I can get photos for you if that helps.
