Very cool. I take it low oil pressure, high coolant temp, and exhaust temp, perhaps raw water flow are on another, alarm driven panel? Kind of surprised to see high water on here, along with bilge pump (singular?).. or perhaps you are looking for redundancy? Certainly nothing wrong with that. I might add AC water pump if possible.
I'm curious how you are doing the detection part. Voltage sense at the load? Current sense?
Some of these items already have indicators on the panel and the others I was just gonna run a lead of the the load side of the breaker except for the water maker I was gonna run a lead into the HP pump. I can't think of any ways of wiring the water pump to make the indicator work when it's running. Not trying to do anything fancy just and overview of important stuff. Also it's me just idle thinking.

Pacer makes non leds in all voltages. I was going of with them. Yeah optimally I would do N2K but it's not worth it for us. Although our next nordy will have a full N2K monitoring system very alike with the Hamilton's. If you don't know he has a sensor on everything, Like I wouldn't be surprised if he had a sensor in the toilet to tell the bowl water temp, which would be pretty cool.That makes sense, and sounds like a fun project. To sense the water pump you would presumably have to get inside the control unit to the motor side of whatever switch they use. It's a headhunter, right? The 60 comes with a current sensing run indicator on the water pump circuit which I thought was pretty cool.
With all these sense wires, you will be bringing a variety of different voltages back to the indicator panel. What then? Will the indicators be LEDs? You'll need to step down the voltage somehow so they all glow more or less the same intensity.
Oh, and all your sense wires should have a fuse within close proximity to the sense point.
I'm doing something similar, but using the Maretron Run Indicator module to put all the info on the N2K bus, and N2KView for display. It has some added benefits like persistent cycle counters and run-time counters. I wouldn't put in N2K just for this, but if you have it already it is a pretty reasonable cost add-on.

Indicator Light, 3L Series 5/16"
Nice. That makes it easy.
