First of all, thanks to everyone here for all the help and advice I've gotten in the past regarding the rewiring I did on our Catalina 27. We just moved up to a Catalina 310 and I'm looking at doing some rewiring on it: adding an ACR, new electric panel, new charger, better lug connectors, etc.
On the C27 I used Blue Sea MRBFs to fuse things at the batteries and connected the ACR at the battery switch. For the C310 I'm going to mount the ACR by the batteries, so I'll have 4 connections at the primary battery (3 x 80A, 1 x 250A) and 2 at the reserve (1 x 80A, 1 x 250A). I know three lugs is too many to put on the MRBF, so I was thinking of using a normal busbar as a positive connection for the three 80A circuits. I've also seen Jesse's wiring; he used ANL fuse holders as a busbar, which requires a copper bar mounted to the fuse holders.
Just wondering if there are advantages or disadvantages of going either way. I'm not certain I've got the vertical clearance for the MRBF, so the decision might be made for me, but it would be nice to know if there are other things I should know about this.
