Welcome, wiring is going to generic type switches and stuff you'll just have to search the web of something close or find a salvage yard that has stuff you need

Switches are probably Carling Technologies rocker switches. Readily available. Shop around for them on the internet. Much cheaper at electric supply house than marine stores. After an embarrassing incident at the marina, I replaced my horn switch, and all other switches too. They are all SPST, horn is also mom. contact. Make sure you get the 12v light, not 125v light.

Even after 35 years, just about every part except those custom made for Wellcraft are still around.
