When I was prepping my boat for the Winter , one of the last things that I did was remove the batteries. While disconnecting the cables , I relized that I have a Rat's nest of accessory wires going to my Starting Battery. Does anyone have an good ideas to clean this up? I really want to do this right and clean it up, looks terrible.

Very simple. Add a fuse block. Not only does it clean up the rats nest but no more need for inline fuses that you don't know where they are. I'll come back shortly with a link to the best one out there.

Blue Sea fuse blocks:
