Has anyone removed this seemingly useless picture window? I know its function as a terminal case, but every run seems to have another terminal block elsewhere. Its' pretty to view from the front, but talk about an inaccessable wire nightmare behind. Its' also blocking access to the neg terminal buss for the battery cables, wherever that is. Plus it takes up a lot of precious ER space.


The blue item you see below "The Picture" is a yoga mat I use to keep my knees from scratching anything while I climb around.

It is there to protect the wiring and you from the wiring. Doesn't seem to do much until you blow a hose and spray saltwater everywhere. Then it is gold.

Every termination is a point of failure. GBs seem to have terminal blocks everywhere. If anything I might make new terminations in the cabinet.
 
It doesn't have to be transparent, but the wiring must be covered with something.
 
Sure is beautiful wiring. Deserves a nice frame. Probably a guy thing.....
