[QUOTE="mbweimar, post: 403948, member: 9884"] Looks good for the most part. A battery switch wont do you much good at this point, because of the simplicity of your proposed setup. As long as you remember to turn off all accessories, you should be fine. The fuse you have between the distribution and the battery is fine, however I recommend using one of these: https://www.bluesea.com/products/5025/ST_Blade_Fuse_Block_-_6_Circuits_with_Negative_Bus_and_Cover This will simplify your setup, allow you to individually fuse each circuit (which is absolutely necessary,) and looks really nice! The size of wire will depend on how long the run is. 16-18 gauge should be fine to go from the distribution to the accessories, and maybe use 14 gauge for the bilge pump. I like to use this wiring chart when determining wire size. https://www.hitmanhotrods.com/en/admin/sources/editor/assets/chartsGraphs/wire_sizing_chart2_titled_filled.jpg If you need any more information don't hesitate to ask!
