Monti,
The wire to the bow light does not run through the hull. It runs under the rub rail insert. It is very easy to replace; you just peel the rub rail insert out and lay in the new wire.
I recommend ANCOR's 16 Ga. Marine Grade Duplex Speaker Wire as a replacement. It is much larger gauge than the original lamp cord and fully tinned so it will not "rot" again. It is also small enough to fit inside the rub rail insert.
