Having rewired my Montauk and my Outrage 17 twice, I would agree that Blue Seas makes good equipment BUT it is expensive. I learned a lot.

If you are not planning to have a lot of fancy electronics, accessory lights, trolling etc, I would go simple and straightforward.

Rather than a integrated bus bar with fuses and negative bar like this https://www.bluesea.com/products/5026...r/featured

I would go with a simple pos/negative bar with separate fuses at the switch in a panel. This is similar to the original Whaler design back in the 70's-80's.

Use simple single push/pull switch with a fuse. Cole Hersey for switches.
From the battery, run a dedicated 8 gauge wire to the neg/positive bus bar with an in-line fuse to power all accessories. Don't daisy chain.
