I would stay away from 18 gauge conductors on any branch circuit wiring. ABYC standards permit them but with a few caveats. Currently yellow is becoming almost universally accepted for DC negative color. It avoids confusion on US boats with AC systems where the hot is also black.

Thanks Bglad, I've modified my plan slightly since the original post, see revised version.

I have no plans for AC power on the boat.
