navagation lights on boat

[perrywater1]

Need some help on the navagation lights, 2006 sea hunt dual console .anchor and bow lights do not work. Some body was working on these wires before, they are the only thing that does not work. my switch for the lights have power, the only wires not hooked up, didnt do anything . Not sure how to trace correct wires back from lights,, whats the best thing to do, how do you fish wires back from bow to under console to rewire

Thank you for your help

Somebody was working on the lights before but have they worked at all and now suddenly stopped working? Power at the light fixture? Navigation lights should be Grey for power and black or yellow for return/gnd. You can use an ohm meter to trace the wire from the light fixture to the switch or a long wire connected to a known good ground (batt) and check for power at the fixture. It would be too easy to tape new wires to the old and pull new wire through but you'll find that the wire is probably stapled below the deck and isn't going anywhere.
