I've decided to wire up my bow light on my 13' whaler. I've read a lot on this site and others on how to go about it.

i've attached a wiring schematic of what i'm proposing to do. Can anyone comment on it and let me know if it's right/wrong/overkill. and suggest any changes.

i'm waiting for a warm day to pull off the rub rail and replace the old wire and see where the stern end of the wiring is coming through the boat.

also. I'm using a dual purpose battery. starter and lights. should i install a battery switch? will that help preserve my battery strenghth for starting the engine?

thanks,

I'm new to this site and to boston whalers. looking forward to restoring the wood work this winter.
