I think it's about time I cleaned up my wiring a bit... Wouldn't running all those ground wires to a buss strip allow me to run just one wire back to the ground terminal?

That's what I'm gonna do. Got a new fuse box with a negative bus and I'm going to put a positive bus in there too.

Might not want that big Negative cable running against the wing nut on your positive terminal either ...

Buss bars would help clean it up a lot.

Buss bars would help clean it up a lot. Could be quite a fire with those larger cables. My Brother-in-Law's grand-girls burned up the golf cart with a short (bouncing down a hill).

The ground wire wasn't as close as it appears to be in the picture, it was actually a good bit above the terminal and I doubt it would ever touch but still too close for comfort so I moved it. Thanks again.

A bus would go very nice in there and make it easier to trouble shoot if you ever have a problem with a single electronic.
This next thought is an assumption if every single ground wire for every single electroic on the boat runs back to that terminal, which may not be the case for you here, but just in case i thought i would say. Another good thing about the bus is you can separate all of those wires to a more convenient location to specific electronics. Example you can put a bus in the console by your electronics and then one in the batt area above your your pumps. Then you only have two main wires running to isolated locations.

Bus bar are they way to go.. For you verado owners your engines like clean power. (Less fault issues for your PCM's)
