The duplex wire that runs to the bow light is not foamed in place, it does not run through the hull. It runs inside the rub rail as bake points out.

Replacement of this wire is very simple; peel the rub rail insert out and place the new wire in the receiver track. Then reinstall the insert.

The wire will pass through a hole in the gunwale in the stern by the terminal block and again at the bow light itself.

I suggests you use ANCOR's 16 ga. marine grade (tinned) speaker wire. It is inexpensive, small enough to fit in the rub rail and vastly superior to the un-tinned 18 ga. lamp cord that Whaler used originally.
