Part 13 of restoring a Classic Boston Whaler Montauk 17. In this video I install new bow navigation light wiring without removing the rub rail. We do run the wire underneath the rub rail but we use an electricians fish tape to run twine (twisted mason line) inside the rub rail . After that we use the mason line and lubricant to run the new navigation light wire in.

Here are Paid Affiliate links to some of the items I used in this video:

Fish Tape: https://amzn.to/3MUHwyf
Note: This is similar to the one I used, it has the bent metal tip which you can adjust to make as small as possible
Klein Cable Lubricant: https://amzn.to/3WTXywV
Masons Twine: https://amzn.to/45LnEq1
14awg Marine Wire https://amzn.to/43GP7ra
14 Gauge was overkill, I really could have used 16 or 18 gauge. Especially since I use led lighting.
