TH Marine no longer makes this but I thought i'd reach out here for ideas. Either used or new. Any ideas?

@Puggz... Would something like this work for you. I don't know why the amazon.ca links won't work but if you type in 3 or 4 way battery terminals in search many options will show for you.

My batteries have 4 terminals, ordinary and wing nut.

I added these guys (amazon) to add multiple fuse protected circuits at the terminal.

Negatives are just a junction terminal.🌻

I've had 2 on my boat for about 4 years but I wouldn't buy them again. If you do them too tight the black or red plastic wing nut keeps turning and they don't tighten enough
 
I just finished this upgrade the other day. And to think I had that bird's net of wires tied to my cranking battery.

Now all I'll have is the motor, charger and the supply lines to a shut off then to this distribution block.
 
Yeah that looks good with the bolts that go right through a hole in the connector. The comment above that the threads strip is spot on… those connectors are so soft that the threads in them are easy to damage.

How do you determine what size fuse is required?

Pretty much all the circuits put to this junction block had fused circuits, so I just used what was there.

The old bird's net system had fuses hidding all over the boat. Tracing a problem would have been a royal pain and I said that just won't do. Correcting that bird's net problem allowed me to double down by putting all the fuses in one easily accessible place.

The new electrical equipment, the manufacturer of said equipment provide a fuse value recommendation, so I went with that.

The circuits I added (functional ambient lighting {LED}, electric horn, battery voltage readers, accessory port, USB ports) that I had no reference to I errored on the light side, I estimated amperage draw. I know I would have tested if I was doing for someone else but for me I said close enough. I'd much sooner a fuse blow to easily then have a problem where a circuit over heats and possibly causes fire.
