Looks good. Depending on how many amps the plow's pump draws, I think 2 ga. might be overkill, but it's always better to go bigger...just not on the pocketbook. I don't think you need to use 2 ga for the starter, especially if you have a newer PMGR unit. Also, I would add fuses between the batt. and plow and batt. to cab. Finally, I would not connect the two batteries, unless you plan on using an isolator. Good luck.
