Looking for a type of 'Busbar'

[JoLin]

It's a little different. I installed a pair on my Pro-Line 5 years ago, but for the life of me I can't recall where I bought it or what it was called...

It was a busbar or 'battery terminal expander' that mounted directly to the battery screw terminal, and had 3 or 4 'taps' coming off it, suitable for low draw accessories connected directly to the battery. It also had a plastic cover to protect the wire terminals. I had one on the pos terminal and one on the neg terminal. It made for a nice, clean installation.

I know I could mount positive and negative bus bars to the boat near the battery instead, but space is tight, and there aren't as many good attachment points in an aluminum boat.

Hoping somebody here has seen this thing and knows where to get it. Thanks

Post a picture or search Google images until you find a link. Did it have a built in circuit breaker?

I use a 8 pole 50 amp terminal strip with one side jumper together. For power and ground.

Too bad your in NJ, you can get them at Mills Fleet Farm here in the midwest. Beware though, The ones in my junk drawer are made of steel and just plated with a thin layer of copper and tinned. Thats why they are in my junk drawer, FYI.
