    recommendations for a little starting battery or should I run long wires?

    You can't go wrong with two batteries, especially since your light connections are in the rear of your boat.

    Bearing Buddy dust cap "bra" coming off 1 hub while trailering

    I'll ask again. Are there brakes on that wheel? Nothing should be hot if working right. When was the last time you pulled everything apart and looked at the bearings? Am I missing something? Why isn't the hub being hot a number one issue? Grease should not be bubbling.

    Dead Batteries

    I haven't read all of the comments so I may be way off or irrelevant or maybe this has already been mentioned. Have you measured the voltage at the starter when you're trying to start the motor?

    Electronics question

    I would want to know why the fuses are blowing. You have an issue. Can you see and trace the wiring to check for bad connections, burnt insulation or other problems?

    I agree, it does look like a window closer thing I remember from elementary school days.
