Ok no trailer wire. So 10 ga for fule pump. 10 ga from starter to fuse block. 10ga to coil. 12ga to head and tail lights. 12ga to backup light. While I am running wire would you run a couple of extras for future stuff?
Am I forgetting anything in the back???
The switch panel I bought is a Marpac marine panel with 6 waterprof switches rated at 20 amp with 6 push button breakers that I think are 15amp. and 6 lights for when they are on I am going to take them out of the panel and mount them on the switch and instrument panel I am building.
What about relays do I need these sinse I am using heavy ga wire and breakers?
Do you know a cheap place to buy wire and stuff?
If so where?
Thanks agine Ody

So 10 ga for fuel pump - 14 is heavy enough
10ga to coil - 14 is heavy enough
12ga to headlights - Depending on total Wattage. Keep it to 240 Watts per 20amp switch circuit max
12 ga tail lights. 14 is heavy enough
12ga to backup light - 14 is heavy enough

Yes

This setup limits you to 15 amp circuits (14 Ga wire Min.). Fine for taillights, backup lights and coil. Need 20 amp circuits (12 Ga wire min)

Relays are required when the Switchs them selfs will not handel the Current. The 20 amp switchs you have should be fine. I would however consider them on headlights. Relays are just another electrical device to get wet and corode. Ask me how I know.

I buy most of my stuff on line. I don't like the quality of the stuff you get at the local Auto supply.
