I'm not wuite sure I understand why you need to have your running light ( bow green/red) on a 3way switch. I can understand running your stern (anchor) light 3 way.

If you are wiring both with one 3 way (on,off, on) so that a single switch carries running (bow & stern) and anchor(stern only) then wire it up with spade connectors like this (BTW it is ok to terminate multiple wires into one spade connector)
