Hello everyone.
I’m in the middle of setting up twin 6 gal tanks on the back of my pontoon with a switch to go between them. There will be a line going to each tank and a main like with primer going to the motor.
I mounted the fuel switch on the rail and now I’m second guessing if this will be okay to be so close to the main battery switch?
The battery switch is ignition protected and mounted to wood and the battery will be in a battery box.
Is this okay?
Should I figure out a different place for the switch? Or should I mount the switch to wood as well?
Thanks

If this were mine, I'd separate the fuel valve farther from any electricals. This is mainly because electricals do sometimes fail and create heat and sparks.
