What kind of hub, are you looking for additional 12V lighter sockets, or 5V USB power?

Not 12V lighter socket or USB either one. Essentially it's a block with a positive and a negative lug that accepts a 6 gauge wire +\- from the battery which has in my case four flat fuse positions which would then be used to run wires to the rocker switches for a light bar, back up lights, a sound bar and the winch.

I cant insert a link right now for some reason, but search 12Volt terminal block on amazon. This isn't the best way to distribute the power, as you need to fuse each one. Better to buy either fuse block or a pre wired power distribution block, that has wires and fuses already...

Ok, I think I found what I'm looking for here. Please have a look and tell me why this won't work for me. Thank you Up2it!

Yep. Mine will be here tomorrow. Since its from a marine supply, it should be good for moisture control. Wires loaded up on the battery look like s***, and can cause problems. I'm supposing that I can take the four leads from Hondas sub harness to one side of this block, then through the fuse and out the other side to my four rocker switches???

I have a project video detailing this very problem. I bought some marine bus bar(s) for the job. I should have the video good to go in a next week. I'm also considering a battery isolation switch & battery relocation because I hate where Honda put the damn battery! Seriously why put the battery there? When you have lots of space under the hood!

Thanks

I hear ya. I'm keeping the OEM where it is but adding a battery and box under the hood so that there's not gobs of wires running to the rear.

It's all about heat shrink tape and dielectric grease...but a COVERED terminal would be nice :)

Does that grease come in an aerosol?
