Default Bus bar for NMEA, etc.

A little while ago someone posted a link for a bus bar that could be used for these really low voltage connections that had a watertight box/cover around it. I think it was mad by Blue Sea but I can't seem to find the post anywhere. Does anyone happen to still have the link to the item or a part number for it?

Thanks!

Cgrand - I checked their site but couldn't find it right off.

offshore3144 - The thread that had Birdman's picture of what he did was the one that had the link to the new product. I couldn't gind that original thread for some reason. I even serched for all of his posts in the last year but it didn't show me anything prior to 4/6/04 (I'm sure he posted before then...)

You mean this one?

The black box and Euro style buss connectors (white thing) can be found at Sh_t Shack for a couple bucks. Glue the white thang into the black box with regular Crazy glue, it bonds the plastics together nicely. Then just drill the access holes in the ends to bring in the wires. Somebody did post a similar item now being made/sold by I think Blue Sea or another company a while back, but the only problem with it was it only had something like 6 terminals on it. With this, you can make it as big or small as you wish. I used the 3" by 6" box with two 12 terminal Euro thingy's, one of them I cut so it fit in the box, so I have a total of 19 connections. The picture below is an old one, mine's almost full now but you get the idea.
