I need to replace the wiring on the bow light and the horn mounted on the top of the boat, my question is how strong is the fiberglass where the bow is, will i be able to lay down in the boat and run the wires without falling thru the fibreglass?

the stringers don't go all the way to the front of the bow

Re: strength of bow

unless you weigh over 600 pounds you should be alright, the bows are usually made tough so the forward keel can absorb impacts while youre rippin' it up in the water!

if you can't, it's best to find out now, before it goes in the water. it won't last to get on plane the first time.
