Can I Use Terminal Strips for Grounding Wires on My Boat?

Question:

Hi Jeff, I watched a video where you recommended "terminal strips" to connect two or more wires together. For the boat' s GREEN WIRE grounding system (where you see 8 or 10 gauge green wire grounding all metals, some of which the fuel tanks and sea strainers are grounded), would you still recommend terminal strips? - David

Answer:

For a bonding system, you want all the connections to be common and instead of a terminal strip, better to use something like this, https://www.bluesea.com/products/2314/Common_100A_Mini_BusBar_-_5_Gang_with_Cover - Jeff
