After pulling the motor a couple of time and having to take a pic of the wiring every time, got these wire tags from Fry's. Cleaned it up real good. Before and after.

Looks like a good idea for those who can read.
That still leaves a lot of this group out though.

Taking pictures works well too.
I use it more now than when I was younger for obvious reasons.

Could just make it a weatherpack connection and get rid of the terminal block all together.

As much as I like the weaterpack connectors, you still use the terminal blocks. 
The purpose of the terminal block is to run a single large gauge wire to the terminal block and then
run shorter individual wires of the appropriate size to the various items from the block.  The weatherpack connector would be placed somewhere in the shorter
length wire in order to disconnect that item when desired.  Otherwise you end up running many long individual wires.

Some terminal blocks have provisions that incorporate fuses for the individual connections.
I wired my boat using the weatherpacks and haven't regretted it for a moment.  They are durable, weather resistant and easy to take apart.
You do need the proper tools though.
