Hi, I just bought this blue sea 5029 but didn't realise it didn't have the negative terminals. Is it better to have them or just run to earth near the 12v accessory?

I like the idea of the earth going there too but to be honest it really depends on what you intend to power off it. All of teh earths can go to a single screw into the body reasonably. saves all teh wire gathering there although you can confirm a quality Earth to the block too.

Its the same seller too, give him a message and he will likely change the item for you no trouble.

That's a beauty. Better than mine.
No need for negative wires, as MR says run all negatives to a single bolt in the body. Keeps everything neat and tidy..

But as MR said, ensure your body to battery earths are in good order..
