That's it. Headlight relay might do, just make sure it is meant to be on all
the time; not short term like a horn relay might be.

I remember now the big fog lights I had on a car years ago. There was
a relay under the hood so all the juice for the big lights wouldn't be
running through the tiny switch in the panel. The relay was pretty
well sealed and intended to survive under the hood of a car so should
do pretty well if kept above the bilge water. I'll look for a couple
of those tomorrow.
