Got an 18' cc boat I'm getting cleaned up and ready to go again this spring. Changed my VHF, fishfinder, and GPS.

Need some thoughts on best way to wire the 12v to these so it looks nice, and I can disconnect the power cords from the units easily.

One option would be to mount a distribution block on the back corner of the horizontal center console surface. That way, I can leave very short pigtails with automotive type plugs in place, and still be able to quickly connect and remove my electronics. The plugs I'm thinking of are a plastic or rubber encapsulated thing with one female and one male in each plug, and they mate with another similar one.

Any other thoughts?
