@kthrash that works, but you are not fully utilizing all the power from your amps. For example right now you are getting about 75W per inboat speaker and 100W per Tower Speaker. If you swich the in boats and the tower speakers where they are connect on the amps, you would still maintain 75W per inboat, but the Towers would then be 200W per speaker. With it that hooked up that way, you probably use a lot less battery power though....
so use the M600 to drive the in-boat Speakers in parallel at 2ohms... and the sub in bridge mode, and then use the M400 in bridge mode for the two tower speakers?

what about:
M282-Wake
Power Handling: 100 Watts RMS
200 Watts MAX

Wouldnt it be pushing 200W RMS to each?

How do those M282 towers sound? I like the mount set up and the fact that can face them in any direction, or easily remove them.
M282-Wakes sound great.. I took them off the boat for the winter storage.. in the original box in my garage..

You would definately want to tune it after you wired it that way to ensure you arent overpowering them.... I would imagine the 8 inch speakers could handle more than 100 RMS, but Rockford may label them more conservatively to prevent people from overpowering them....

kthrash, do you have a pic of your setup? Does Fosgate have a tower enclosure for the M282's?
