Battery wiring/Buss Bar sanity check...

[PSM207]

I've always thought that most boat battery connections were marginal at best. Here's a picture of my trolling/accessory setup using terminal blocks.
I'm running a 3 battery setup with the Yandina Troll Bridge device.

Very nice work! I am thinking of replacing my free hanging short-stop breakers with the type you have mounted. I use a Stealth charging system and they have like 3 short-stops.....

yeah way cleaner than my setup... has that boat even been on the water lol... j/k ;).

I've been reading about that Troll Bridge - just switched over from 3 AGM's to 3 50ah Lithiums with a Ghost. Don't think I will need any on the water charging solution, but if I find that I do I will give it a look.

I would not use a bus bar in that location for the positive terminal. Too much exposure. BlueSea make a perfect solution. These are available in red/black. Max 100 amp per block 30 amp per circuit. A clear snap-on shield covers the connections.

Well, I would not use that fuse block on any battery other than lithium, lead acid batteries will kill it quite fast
