Restoring an 1989 Sport 13; wiring is coming up and would appreciate advice. This is what I've come up with so far...
on/off battery switch at the battery box, Blue Sea 30 amp fuss block #5025 under the console, Cole Hersee 3 position/ 2 circuit push/pull switch, bow & stern lights, maybe a rule 500 gpm bilge pump (boat will live on trailer mostly so may not need this), fish finder in the future.
The wiring will go like this?...
battery positive to battery switch, battery switch to positive on fuss block, positive to light switch then to lights, neg from lights to neg on fuss block back to neg battery.
Does that sound right?
Would like advice on wire guage and connecting the outboard (2006 Mercury 25HP Bigfoot). Wiring did come with the throttle/shift control (looks straight forward, cable w/ multi prong connector)but no instructions on how to connect to battery!
I did print the 'Typical electrical diagram' from this site.

thanks in advance for your time,
Mitch
