Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Bow light wires shorted 2003 Sport 130

I realize this is an old thread but I don't see an end other than "go through the rub rail" I'm having the same issue with a 2005 Sport 130. Blows fuse when I turn on the Nav lights. Troubleshooting indicates a short on the wire(s) to the bow light. I can successfully light the Anchor light with switch out of the picture but connection to the
bow light causes the fuse to continue to blow. Disassemble the bow light and can see all the connections--nothing there appears to be causing a short. So it must be something prior to that ? ? ? ?

Will continue my trouble shooting meanwhile has anyone else come up with another approach.? And, how do you go through the rub rail to do this--can't find that searching the forum.

Thanks in advance,
