See full version: BUSBAR SIZING CALCULATION
After that we will fabricate the Panel with Proper Sizing of busbar which we derived from the Proper Calculation. In some cases people only practicing Calculation with only consider the 'K' Factors. There is formula exist apart from the 'K' Factors. more
For Copper : 1.2 Amps / 1 Sq.mm of Copper.
For Aluminium : 0.7 Amps / 1 Sq.mm of Bar.
d) ABSENCE OF VENTILATION IN THE PANELS.
OK -- lets start with basics.
1) Why do you need a buss bar?
2) What accessories do you have on this boat.
3) What type of boat.
4) What engine (year, make, HP, etc.)
5) Electric trolling motor (yes or no, 12 volt, 24 volt or combo 12/24 volt).
6) One battery or dual battery with ACR, dual battery switch, isolator or.
7) Current wiring system configuration. [links]

I have but they always ask a question a little different then mine more
We can't see your boat so you need to provide at least a little more information. There is no one way that's correct in all situations. For all we know you already have one. here
I know nothing about electrical other then hooking up switches but I was wondering how do I install a bus bar on my boat.

We call it a Negative (common) Bus Bar because that’s what it’s typically used for. However it could also be used as a positive bus bar if your situation requires. This might be useful for example to gang the positive inputs together with our Bocatech resettable push button switches which feature molded wire input leads. [links]
Our tinned marine bus bar is distinctly different than a terminal block in that all the screws are physically and electrically ganged together. (more on how bus bars and terminal blocks are used in your boat’s wiring system here) here
It’s only 6″ long and 1 1/4″ wide for a nice compact place to gang all your load negatives together before heading back to the battery. It’s rated for up to 150A, which is much more than you’d typically need on a small to mid sized recreational boat. more
This bus bar has 10 load screws, but you can put multiple wires onto each. It’s compact, so can get crowded this way, so if you have more than around 15 loads it’s probably best to get two of these and link them together with the 1/4-20 threaded stud terminals and a bit of #6 or #8 or so wire. here
This 150A marine bus bar is used to combine multiple wires into one “bus”. Our Marine grade bus bar is tinned to resist corrosion and includes (2) 1/4″ studs for large cables and (10) #8 screws for your smaller loads.
There’s a (simplified) wiring diagram below showing how a marine bus bar is typically used in your boat’s overall electrical system. As shown in it’s common usage, the bus bar is usually located near the boat’s switch panel and the positive breakout terminal block. This way all the negatives coming from the various loads can be collected together with one main cable run to the negative post on the battery. here
Flame-retardant plastic base, resistant to high temperatures and wear. 3 * 34. The standard strip connectors work well and you can choose to have 4 separate devices connected.
ONLINE LED STORE #ad - All-in-one - the modular design can be easily expanded now or later to include up to two ACCEPSPWR0031 6-Way 100A M4 fuse boxes, providing up to 12 fuse protected power terminals and 12 clean grounds in one convenient location.
