With the interior all in next step is to complete the wiring. I had pre-wired the dashboard, so this was about wiring through the rest of the boat.
Not much to talk about here, but a few details were fun to figure out.
I ran all the wires to the stern of the boat down the side rail, nothing too hard with that. It did require a 1.25" hole to be drilled into the rear storage compartment where I installed a master switch. This turned out to be the best location since it won't be exposed to water, and is tucked away for the wires
Got it a little cleaned up with the wires down the side of the boat, as well as the stern light install and battery box. I used 0.25" wire sleeves and then wrapped them in a larger 1.25" sleeve. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08NJL5LYC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Battery box came with a template for the hold down straps. Just screwed that into the deck with some marine caulking to prevent any water intrusion.

Here's a couple of the bow navigation light. I think this looks really slick at the front of the boat. https://www.specialtymarine.com/collections/navigation-lighting/products/boston-whaler-classic-bow-light-navigation-light-with-chock-led-316-stainless-not-perko
