Suggestions on snaking wires under deck

[Lrider]

I need to rewire the bow light. I had anticipated that I could tiee a line to the old wires and pull the new wires through, however, the reason the bow lghts don't work is that the wires are missing

Any suggestion on getting the wires to the bow?

Electrical fish tape.

An old shift/throttle cable works good too...

Cool, was also wondering how to get the wire up through the bundle the is through the deck, but I found the deck plate under the batteries

Also found several years of wires going no place and a cheap green transparent lamp cord connecting my sending unit to my fuel gauge with 2 more perfectly good wires from the sender ending in space

I can see this is going to be fun, just ordered a new switch/fuse panel from Iboats the one I have has non marine switches that are in Bad shape

Under the gunnel won't work?

A lot of times the best way to snake is to go from the fuel fill pie in the cockpit sole to the fuel inspection pie by the deck fill, then go forward from there...

This is what I have to work with

I have an under deck access inside of the CC and I can access the running light from the anchor locker

As was earlier suggested I am going to have to run a snake from the bow

Not too bad though
