I have a 13 ft. 1971 Boston Whaler skiff and my bow and stern lights are not working. I have the original wiring diagram from BW but it's not clear as to what goes where. Can someone provide me with some direction? My battery is good so I know that's clear. I've checked the fuses and they are all good as well. Any input is welcomed.
Thanks,
Bryan

Have you checked to make sure there's 12V at the lights? If there is power, check the bulbs.
I ended up installing battery powered running lights on our J14 Carolina Skiff. It was a lot easier than pulling new wires back to the battery box.

The original wires were run inside the foamed cavity.
Owners over the years have re-run new wire using the gap in the rubrail between the white receiver and the black rubrail insert to transit to the aft corner. Then drill a hole in the gunnel.

That's what I was afraid of.
