Please can someone tell me whether my Mr Happy will pass its safety check?

I connected the leisure battery via an isolator to the engine. BUT then I connected the bilge pumps and lights direct to the same battery, avoiding, of course, the isolator.

At the time, this seemed a good plan. Now, with safety check looming, I don't want to fail!

Simple answer is the lights should go the switched side of the isolator. The bilge pump is OK but it must be correctly fused.

An inline fuse, close to the battery. Correct rating for the cable. Probably 5 amp.
