    oh ok, I did say don't wish to sound critical and then did, I don't know about you but I've found the silicon so flexible it can creep back and expose moor of the bare strand, specially when maneuvering and manipulating the fascia onto the box because the wires are such heavy gauge, and I would have used the 14 gauge for my out and ground and 16 for the battery and I would have insulated over the firing button solder tabs and then I could solder and heat shrink  my ground and out weirs onto the pads with the wires laced away from the board Rather than over and because the jst tap stands off the board I might have tinned up my battery Leeds and then bent them 90% and soldered them down to stand off and away . But just saying that's all.

    I understand what your saying, but i oriented my solder connections to the board in a certain way to relieve stress when it is assembled, had i turned the output wires around, they would have crossed the swith and been turned at a sharp angle, placing more mechanical strain on the solder joint. Same goes for the battery to board joints, they allowed me to loop them over and connect to the bullet connectors on the battery and be tucked down beside the battery in the box. I see your point on using the 16g from the battery and 14g on the output side. But it is what it is now. As for the switch wires, they are more than clear of any other components and are not really a concern. When I planned my wiring, i took into consideration the stress placed on the solder joints more than anything, so I avoided any tight bends in the wire, and made sure there was a plan for every wire placement.
