Post Wiring up spotlight, bowfishing lights, and trolling motor?
I have searched and I can't find any picture of how people have wired up their spot , bowfishing lights, and trolling motor. I plan on using 10-27watt LEDs and a little 12v hand control troller and a LED go light. Going to use 2- 27 group deep cycle batteries. Not going to use a generator.

I use a 12v 2 prong trolling motor plug in.... I have a 5amp wireless remote swith which is set to run to a 60amp replay so I'm not short on power for trolling motor...... Headlights will be able to plug into trolling motor plug

But how do you have them all hooked up and in use at the same time?

To do it right, you need to run separate power to all three from the battery. Trolling motor is the simplest because you don't need a switch, and I suggest the twist and lock style connectors, not the prong style pieces of shit. The Golight and the fishing lights could be ran with the same power through two separate switches but I'd still keep them separated in case something happens, you still have light one way or the other. You'll need a power block or a location to install switches. Then it's just a matter of routing the wires and connecting it all.

just go buy two battery cables to hook the batteries in parrellel to maintain 12v. or cut extentsion cord or jumper cables and crimp ends to them.

Ok maybe I should have been more specific. I want a way to run everything with separate wire to either a switch or different plugs and it still look good. I want the switch or plug base to be on the front deck and the wires to go under the deck and to the batteries.
