Default Motor wiring help

Just putting the finishing touches on my first board but am not sure of the best way to wire my motors to the power source and have a cord with the on/off switch (i actually want to wire a cord for each side of the board) any suggestions? thanks!

You'll need two 3-way switches. Just wire them up as in the pic. You can follow how the board will work by the pics. First pic (upper left) the power flows through switch A and goes over to switch B where it stops. The board is off at this point. By turning switch A on (lower left) or switch B on (upper right) the power completes its loop and the board runs. By switching switch A off (upper left) or switch B off (lower right) the board is off again. Hope this helps.

Whoops, the pic is cut off at the top. The wire from switch A #1 goes to switch B #2. Just look at the bottom 2 pics!
