Cool
It should say on the box or on a label on the side what the amp draw is for the pump. If the lights are LED the draw is almost nothing. If they are incandescent 16 gauge is fine.

Depends on how long you re keeping the boat or how many times want to do it.

Plus, how much wire we talking about. 30 or 40 ft
