You first have to tell us what kind of rubrail you boat has, and if it is original. If you have the white one-piece rubrail, the wires run interally inside the hull. If you have the black rubrail insert, the wires run under that.

In either case, there should be place on the stern sidewall where the wires come into the inside of the hull, usually indentified by a terminal block placement.

Whaler uses light gray wires for navigation lights, the industry standard.

You can find photos of the standard stern light configuration on this site. Look at the Whaler parts section. Specialty Marine sells the components for a stern light installation, so does Twin Cities Marine.


Hi again,

There is a black rub rail but also a plastic trim rail that is white. I don't see a fuse block but there is a aluminium cover on the right corner that covers the engine wiring. It looks like whaler hide the wires under that as I see 2 white wires cut very short. ? is that for the front or rear light?

sorry if this is a easy question but right now I am a bit overwhelmed with all I am going to have to do to get everything going. Boat, trailer and motor all have things wrong with them.

thanks..
