Does anyone know what the piece in the red highlighted circle is? It’s between the positive battery cable and post. It looks like an industrial fuse.

Could be a fuse. As @Benny17441 suggested removing it and cleaning it up would be a good idea.Does anyone know what the piece in the red highlighted circle is? It’s between the positive battery cable and post. It looks like an industrial fuse.
The ears on the battery case are for a strap. Here's an example: https://amzn.to/2Ki1rIrlooks like a strap loop to use to carry the battery (flat removable strap)
Not my batteries but they are two 6 volt batteries, just missing the connection cable from the left neg to the right positive.Looks like you have 2. batteries in your photo, and not hooked up. the the ground on the left battery is not connected to anything, and the positive on the right is not connected. The white object on the positive side of the left battery may be a fuse.
Otherwise, the right side battery has a ground wire hooked up to the positive terminal. In any event, that wiring needs to be sorted out...
Sounds like you have a good plan. A positive busbar and negative busbar simplifies and cleans up wiring. Those MRBF (marine rated battery fuses) are a good solution for fusing battery cables.Found some cool products from Blue Sea. One is inline battery fuse. (That’s gotta be what I’m replacing) The other is a battery terminal bar. Both should clean things up nicely.
Reminds me of those ferrite things on some power supply cords. Maybe one big one serves the entire boat? My 2 cents.Does anyone know what the piece in the red highlighted circle is? It’s between the positive battery cable and post. It looks like an industrial fuse.
Good thought. Thx!Those should by ny-lock nuts on those abrtery post.
And the negative terminal is stacked incorrectly. The cable with the largest draw goes on the bottom. The terminal block should be on top of the negative cable.Those should be ny-lock nuts on those battery post.
Ok. But where does this wire go? Not sure about "potted". Perhaps heat shrinked to protect a "butt connection".small red wire
