Whaler:
Piling up terminals on the hot side is not a good idea.
Would suggest you run only two: one to starter and a no 8 or 10 to a "hot terminal block" if you really want to do it right put a 60 -80 amp fuse or fusable link in the line. Then use seperate terminals for all your hot requirements. Stacking up terminals has thermal expansion issues, lots of corrosion area, and is a reliabily and well as fire hazard. While on the subject: same for grounds; set up a ground (or two) terminal block in engine compartment and one in the rear. Bring all your neatly bundled grounds to the bus bar and teminate with one high quality; cerrated washer with grease, on bare frame metal ground.
