24 guage wire and above will not stay in breadboards. 22 Gauge works well.

The current rating of all wires and connectors needs to be considered, see an AWG chart (available online, put a link here) for wire ratings and the Datasheets of all connectors for their rating.

Waterproof connectors should be used for any connection within the hull of the boat, or above the deck; the hull should not be assumed to be water-tight.

SSQ-series and TSW-series connectors by Samtec work decently to connect to square female headers (ie the Arduino headers); they could be a tighter fit.
