On older Boston Whaler boat models (from 1958 to about 1969), the navigation light wiring was molded into the boat. These older boats had a one-piece, white rub rail that was adhered to the hull with the wiring beneath it. Unfortunately, there is no way to run new wiring into the hull if the old wires are damaged. It is easier to order a newer style rub rail kit.
From 1970 and up, boats with a multiple-piece rub rail that were riveted or screwed to the hull have the wiring hidden under the outer rub rail insert. Removing the insert will expose the navigation light wiring.
