So, after reading the suggested product site and checking out the price list,  <:(  , how do i go about choosing whats required, i have the idea of looking for a diagram that might suit my lifeboat then order away, {:-{  is that the way to approach the install.

Action Electronics provide a variety of wiring diagrams for model boat electronics and whilst there isn't one for the Tyne Class lifeboat this link for a Severn class would be a good starting point. The Severn was fitted with a bow thruster but the electronics for that part can easily be omitted.

The lighting side would depend entirely on how you would want control for these to work, direct operation from the transmitter is easily achieved using Action Electronics switcher units.
