Here is the final pump module, ready to drop in. The pumps are rated at 30 amps each, so I was worried about the draw on the dash switches. I used a couple 40 amp relays to take the load. The relays are triggered through 2 Wakemakers adjustable pump timers. Then, the relays are powered through 2 - 40 amp auto-resetting breakers that will be fed off the 8 gage hot wire to the alternator.
Here is the control panel for the wake plates. I installed the switches inverted, so the direction of the switch operation matches the direction the plates actually move (the "up" and "down" on the switch label refers to boat nose motion, rather than plate motion). I figured it would be confusing to have the plates extend when you press the upper switch. They also have an auto-retract function that I will wire to retract the opposite side plates when ever one side is extended.
