I recently purchased a 13' Classic and am in the pocess of going through it. I can't seem to figure out how the bow and stern lights are wired. There is a small terminal block with two wires coming off it and going behind the fiberglass. Do those wires go to the bow light? Also, how were the lights switched originally since it doesn't look like there was a switch on the console? I search the site and couldn't find any info. Any suggestions?
The wires may go through the fiberglass and then into the rub rail.
Pull part of the rub rail off in that section to see if the wires are there that run to the bow light.
As Joe stated, the wires run under the rub rail. If they are not there and you need to run new lights, I suggest running the wire under the rub rail. The switch pictured in the article link is the switch that was once located on your console. That style switch can still be purchased or you can go with a another form of marine grade nav switch.
