I agree with Phat on that one.
I went overboard on my re-wiring of the Wellcraft. I ran duplex wire to everything except the wires in the t-top. The wires were glassed into the backside of the liner when it was upside down. Bilge pumps got the fancy 3-wire 14 ga for the auto switches, if the batteries are hooked up, they are ON, everything else is on breakers, color coded and everything terminates to distribution blocks. Just about anything 12V can be powered from the transom of the V, I ran 1/0 Marine Tinned Wire from the console to the transom. Now, I need a new switchplate, I have run out of switches, how deep do you go? Sometimes you just got to step up, sometimes you need to step back. (Not with bilge pumps) Anyone that owns a boat had better get used to the idea of having a project every now and then. If you are done working on it, may as well sell it. Modify or Die.
