Found the problem. It was the connection between the bow light and the main circuit. I found an inspection port in the anchor locker through which I could touch the connection. When I wiggled it the light came on and off. Unfortunately I could not reach the connection well enough to repair it. I was able to create a new connection elsewhere on the same circuit, though, and cut and insulated the wires to the old connection. The bow light now works. Onward to the non-working mast lights!

Well done. Mast lights may be a bit more tricky... You have a connection
Good luck.
- on the mast i.e mast head where the light is.
- A connection at the base of the mast. Often the wires are connected inside the base of the mast at the deck for a deck step mast or near the keel for a mast that goes thru the deck. Some have plates on the side of the mast that gives you access to separate the connections so that the mast can be removed from the boat.
- You have connections at the fuse / circuit breaker board.
Good luck.
