This is from my lack of knowledge, but I see you have 9 positives and only 5 negatives. Is that correct? Also, where are you hooking your grounds to? That wasn't finished, grounds run from the switches to the bus on the fuse block and then direct to the battery. I've upgraded to heavier gauge wire since this pics were taken.

Thanks - So the device/gps positive & negative wires would go to the switch, then the switch positive - negative - ground would go to the fuse box/bus? I know nothing really when it comes to electrical stuff, so thank you for your help.

Device positive goes to the switch , ground to the ground bus or the switch ground it really doesn't matter. Think of it as completing a circuit, as long as the wiggly urgs makes their way from the start point around and through something then back again it's all good. Excuse my crude drawing.

I guess I am confusing myself thinking the ground & negative are two different wires, instead they are the same.

I rewired mine because corrosion and failed beakers. The factory wiring daisy chained the line side of all the breakers with spade terminals which caused significant voltage drop. I replaced all that and added positive and negative terminal blocks. Each breaker has a dedicated positive lead from the terminal block. I replaced the breakers with Blue Sea breakers that have screw terminals instead of spade terminals. I have to do a little clean up work with some zip ties then I’ll post some pics.
