I'm working on adding an electric bilge pump to my Rhodes 19. I've been assembling the pieces as I found them / as they went on sale. So far I have:
Battery: Mighty Max Battery ML-U1-CCA387 $60.31 Sealed Lead Acid Battery, 12 V, 35 AH, Nut and Bolt Terminal, SLA, AGM Chemistry | Zoro.com
Battery box: Noco HM082 $9.79 Battery Box, Snap Top Closure | Zoro.com
Battery switch/selector: https://www.bluesea.com/products/6007200/m-Series_Mini_Selector_Battery_Switch_-_Black
Fuse/switch panel: https://www.bluesea.com/products/4306/WeatherDeck_12V_DC_Waterproof_Fuse_Panel_-_Gray_6_Positions
Negative bus bar: https://www.bluesea.com/products/2300/Common_150A_BusBar_-_10_Gang_with_Cover
Bilge pump: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08TC321N3
The Rhodes 19 doesn't exactly have an area for electrical, but there's plenty of room under the covered part. It looks like I can mount it on plywood, ideally coated in resin?
From my reading, I need a breaker between the battery and the battery switch. Most of the post-mount ones are not for that type of terminal, so perhaps I just need to mount one within 7" of the battery positive terminal. Wiring spec appears to be marine-grade primary wire with marine grade crimp connectors?
