Thanks Garris. I'm with the boat now and there was a spot on the rubrail where it was not 100% in the track. It was near the stb light. I pulled the rubrail away from there and was able to expose the wires back to where they route from the console to the port light. So I was fortunate that I did not have to break it away from the stern to start the separation.

The bracket has been fixed in places but it appears to still be usable. The wood its fastened to must be sturdy enough to hold the screws and rivets in place. More latee Thanks!
