Where can I find a New OEM terminal block for a 1975 BW 13 sport?
THanks.

If you wanted a few more terminals (the original one can get a bit "tight", you might consider this one:

Please don't spend $10 when you can buy the same item for $4.

We don't call West Marine, "Theft Marine" for nothing. Ridiculous.

I don't get why you guys hate on west marine so much. Those are not the same product. The west marine one is manufactured by blue sea systems. Its very high quality stuff. Yes it is probably over priced but that is not west marine's fault. The Blue Sea bus bar would be the same price anywhere else. While the second product is probably fine for what you need, it is not the same product.
I personally love going to my local west marine. It is owned by a family that is very nice and helpful. There fastener selection is much greater and frequently cheaper than the Ace next door.

The Terminal Block offered by Hamilton Marine is a Blue Seas product. It costs $4.19 from Hamilton Marine, and $10.49 form West Marine.

You can make your own choice and draw your own conclusions. I made my long ago: I make my online purchases from Hamilton Marine infinity more frequently than from West Marine, for obvious reasons.

If I need something now, I go to West Marine and spend the money, if I can wait a week, I order it on line, Jamestown Distributors is one of my favorite on line marine merchants, especially for fasteners.

Not sure about yours but my west marine price matches any online competitor pricing.
