Default Electrical posts at battery terminals

Hey guys,

At my battery terminals, the posts for adding accessories are getting quite full. Does anyone have a good solution for extra space or a positive and negative bus or some such thing?

Thanks!

Micah

I just bought a blue sea 6 fuse block with negative bus. I'm adding a 70amp breaker and relay to the + cable feeding the fuse block so there will be power to the block only when the ignition is on.
I have lockpick for the Nav and it supplies the switched power to the fuse block.
Just have to fab up a mount for the fuse block under the hood.

I got two marine power post from West Marine and cut some 6 gauge wiring. I ran a positive and negative lead from my optima and mounted the post on the plastic battery tray divider. All my accessories are run to the power post. It's hard to see in the picture but here:
