To run a new set of wires:

The rubrail is two parts. A "reciever" that is riveted or screwed into the gunnel edge and a black "insert" that has grooves that accept two slots from the insert.

You want to remove just the insert on one side (side with the battery) from the stern all the way to the light. Start at the stern and remove the end cap or screw. Use a plastic putty knife or screwdriver wrapped in tape (to prevent damaging the gelcoat) and pry the insert out. With your hands, pull it firmly away a little bit at a time.

You will find that marine speaker wire (not regular speaker wire) has the proper size and rating to fit inside the gap between the rubrail receiver and the insert.
