There was recently an article in Ripley's "Believe It or Don't" where someone "HAD" arrived at their boat and "DID" bring all of the supplies they needed for the job.
Believe It or Else.
Should do the job perfectly.
#16 would be adequate for the wire from the starter switch as it is only required to supply about 0.5A for the Cole Hersey relay.

I have a boat with everything to fix it on board. It got nick named the floating tool box
Installing a relay is the best answer. BUT from the diagrams and images that I see no diodes are installed in parallel with the coil of the relay. This is required to kill the back EMF ( a high voltage that is developed when current is stopped through the coil by releasing the start button) to avoid damage to electronic devices. Connect the cathode to the positive terminal of relay coil and anode to the negative terminal.
in case you are not familiar with term "B+", it came from the tube type devices where tubes required A and B voltages to operate.
I have not heard of "B-" as this would mean a voltage below ground.
