Again, thanks for everyone's help.

Here is where we stand so far. Motor is at shop for the tuneup.


Used half inch pvc and snaked it under the boat. Used a T to pop it up under the front bench with the battery. Used the T to continue the run for the front lights. Lights are blocked from the back by the trolling motor and this would be a pain to take on and off so I think a back pole light may go in to. There is already a hole drilled.

Marine Wire - searched for the best deals I could because it is more expensive then you might think. Snaked 12 gauge for the power and am gonna use 14 gauge and 16 gauge for the accessories. All the wires terminate inside the back bench compartment.

pumps - bought 1500 gph rule for bilge, float switch, and livewell pump. Boat has a 20 gallon livewell so why not set it up for use. peanuts maybe? Pump equipment is being run via short separate pvc. I will need to secure the pvc, just have to find the right solution. Its not complicated.

So all the wires terminate under the rear bench storage. Have a 3 way switch for the bilge, 5 way switch with socket for the accessories livewell and lights.

Still have to figure out how exactly the bilge hose will exit the boat.

Box for the switch is next. Thursday probably. Have to finish by Saturday when I pick up the motor.

Thanks everyone
