I agree with Kamie. Boston Whaler does not wire the way you are describing either. While the boat may have been wired a different way (battery in the stern) when built in 1973, that was before VHF, GPS etc. While it is your boat, why make it more complicated/expensive?

Why not move the battery to the console. For the main set from the motor to the console run a set of 2 gauge (not 2/0) to the battery. From the battery have 1 set (pos/neg) to a single blade type buss bar and then run the radio directly to the battery w/inline fuse. Less wiring and all in a protected place.

My '87 Montauk was this way and my Outrage 17 will be, once I move the battery. This is how my Outrage wiring looked before adding the wire loom
