You should only have to match the wire guage of the leads on your pump
for your wiring.

I will probably go up one wire guage due to the long run from the
battery that will be on the floor of the bow. My reason for getting
this pump is reading David Pascoes advice on the topic.

You can go up a gauge; but, there's really no reason to do so. The
leads will be rated for the load. What you'll generally run into on
considerable wire lengths is a nominal increase in resistance. Are
your leads 16awg? 14 awg would work. Where persons can get into
trouble is going with smaller awg sizes.
