Replacing the wire to the bow light of classic Whaler with the three piece Barbour rub rail is very simple.

Only the rub rail insert need be removed. It just peels right out.

The biggest problem is finding wire that will easily fit within the rub rail insert. Whaler just used 18 gauge lamp cord which corroded very easily. Good Marine Grade duplex wire is too bulky to fit within the run rail insert.

I found the best wire to use is ANCOR's 16 Ga. duplex speaker wire. It is fully tinned to resist corrosion, much larger than the original and will last MUCH longer than the OE wire. It fits easily within the rub rail because it is not sheathed.
