as far as lights go all separate. head lamp, light pole. the only tunes I want to here when fishing is the clicker screaming!

12v for fish finder
6v for bait tank

If you use/depend on gps then you don't want your bait tank draining your ff/gps unit's supply.

12 V for FF.
(my FF will not work at voltages below 10 V or so.)
(i don't think most FF will work at voltages much below 10 V.)

6 V for bait tank, before it crashed & failed.
(time for me to buy new one.

)

portable FM radio, with 4 AA batteries, which totals to 6 V.
good rock & roll playing, is a necessity of a great fishing trip.
