Thanks
Denise,
Again you need to use the distro block for the high current (40 amp) returns for your four position Maxi block and all feeds to the smaller fuse panels. As to cutting the jumper, there is currently no rule for this part. I suggest you ask the Q&A. Ideally, you should be able to cut this to fit you design, but it would need to be insulated in some fashion as the cut would expose metal that is connected to the battery.
