Regarding navigation light wiring color codes from the factory, and in accordance with the industry standards, from having upgraded and re-wired five Whalers, from 1971-1989, I can say that Whaler always used the gray, gray/black stripe and black colors in their wiring harnesses for conventional inland navigation lights, and for bow and stern lights on the international systems also. I'm not sure which gray was used for bow or stern, and black was always the neg back to the battery. In Joe's case, and not knowing which boat he is referring to, where he describes the white, green and black used for the inland convention system, that is the AC three wire cable, so his must have been re-wired at a later date. It is, however, a good option, since the grays that the factory uses are harder to come by aftermarket. I used that AC wire when I re-wired my three boats which have the inland convention (1971, 1975 and 1979).

The only place where Whaler used the 3 wire AC cable from the factory, is for the masthead console pole light in the 2nd generation Outrage models. There, the coiled "pigtail" is indeed an AC component, with the green, white and black. Whaler used the white for the forward facing light (running light) and the green for the stern facing light (anchor). These colors are contained solely within the console. Plain two wire cable, gray & black, are used to the bow and stern lights.
