Default How do I get to wires beneath bow light?

Found broken bow light wire 6 inches down from the line from the bow light fixture on my 2000 Capri bowrider. Can't figure out how to get to those wires that go around the bow up under the gunnell. Any suggestions? Thanks, Kirby

Unscrew the bow fixture itself ( two screws ) and lift it to expose the wires running to it. Maybe that will give you a path backwards to your problem.

If the wires are in a channel, conduit, or wire-tie loops, you should be able to tie a cord to the bow light end and pull the wire to the switch or fuse panel. Color code should indicate which ones to tug on. Use the to cord to pull new wire and make connections.
