Look up NEMA emclosures.

Just got one of these today. Neg bus bar going inside, 2 12v plugs and a BlueSeas 4 switch/fuse panel will all fit on the face with room to spare. A grommet kit from HF to seal the wiring. It already has a seal on the lid, but I may just redo with some 1/4" weatherstrip. It has 8 mounting holes on the back that do not penetrate thru. I'll be working on it this week.https://www.homedepot.com/p/Carlon-8-in-x-4-in-Junction-Box-E989N-CAR/100404099?MERCH=REC-_-NavPLPHorizontal1_rr-_-NA-_-100404099-_-N

I used the same box as ProduceMan, that's it in the lower left.
Well, OK, I really just wanted to show off my musky.

Thanks, it truly was an awesome catch!

Back to the topic at hand...

I'm quite happy with the junction box, it's very well made.
My local HD stocks them.

I originally installed this switch panel from Bass Pro Shops, it was JUNK.
From day one I had issues with switches randomly not working:

I recently installed this SeaSense panel, I'm very happy with it, it's very well made:

I used a weather proof plastic pistol box. Removed the handle and added a drop down panel inside that the switches are mounted to, attached a fuse box on the back wall and pulled the hinge pins to allow total lid removal if wanted and if not, just close the lid and its splash proof.
