Charged my battery and after reconnecting wires to posts, I checked all instruments and the bow light was not working. Is there anything else connected with bow light? I have a 2005 170 Montauk. Any recommendations in finding problem?

On the OEM wiring, the nav lights are on a single circuit.

Check
- fuse/breaker?
- bulb?
- power to light base?
- power to switch?

I have the same issue does anyone know the route of the wiring from the bow navigation light to center console? Does it run through the rub rail?

Check the bulb.

Remove and inspect contacts on the light socket base and the bulb itself.

Replace bulb.

I don't know which type of bow light you are looking at, but yeah I suggest you check on Topdrawer Coupons at couponcodify, actually my hubby last week bought from there and on there varieties are available, I recommend you to check there once.
