I use a marine Cole-Hersee momentary switch that has silver contacts rated max 35 amps in engine compartment, but sometimes listed as a 20 amp sw. No relay required
If you feel a 10 amp momentary sw is good enough search West Marine # 270884. It has pre-attached 18 ga wire and is completely waterproof
I looped a 10 gauge marine wire from starter battery lug to engine compartment and back to solenoid. I used
Waytek Inc, Home page to buy fuses, circuit breakers, cable ties, wire and other electrical supplies By Waytek Inc. polyolefin double wall shrink tube to cover the wires. All connectors were silver soldered
