My boat was missing the nav light on top of the arch. I bought a new one and found out I have no power there. 1. where under the cockpit do these wires run to? I don't see any blown fuses on the buss bar. My buss bar is not labeled. Any idea which circuit on the bar handles the nav lights. 2. if I need to run new wire how do I get it up in the arch. I do not see any access from the starboard cockpit area. HELP!

That's correct. I would check behind those and see if there are any power cables there, if not.. then you will most likely need to run power from the arch to your panel. It's not as hard as you think - I had to run a cable from my arch to the inside of my cabin, only took about an hour. There should be 3 holes on your arch. 2 that sit on the port and starboard side, and one in the very middle. The port and starboard side are lights (maybe?) and you can run the cable from the middle of the arch to your starboard side, then pull out the speaker from the inside side of the arch (if there's a speaker there), then shoot it through the 'firewall' to the helm cable hell area near your right foot, if you're standing in front of the wheel. Not sure how the 87's are laid out, but that's how my 99 goes. Hope that helps.
