I'm about to finish up my restore of a 1969 13' standard that my father in-law bought new. Today while checking out what he had left for wiring I realized the stern wiring was to low in the access hole to be able to add more wire to the end. So I'm now thinking of installing the upgraded rub rail (Had purchased original adhered on rub rail already)so I can run new wires from bow to stern. I imagine I'll just fill the existing hole in the stern. My question is what size wire is run? Is it placed in the track before assembling the outer rail section (might be a stupid question)?
Lastly since I already have the original L shaped rub rail I believe I would only need the other two pieces to complete a set for the earlier upgrade (using the L original first then the other two pieces over it)?
Any good step by step documentation of this?
Thanks
