If it's no Scottish it's CRAP!
Well, it looks 'messy' as you kinda suggest (per the 'tangled mess' description) but at least fair credit, you have them fused (at least 4 of the 5 I can see directly that you have added to the battery positive terminal);
Electrically it's functional, just a little congested - not pretty, but doing the job.
I counted 5 additions in the picture - can you list them for us as to what each circuit is for?
One looks like Battery Tender Pigtail if I recognize correctly
Imagine another would be EB Headlight Relay Kit?
The other three????
There are several ways you can go to minimize the clutter and one excellent one, as 1oldbull suggests - especially with that many circuits - is the PDM60 Power Distribution Module.
The nice thing about the PDM60 is that there are no fuses required - it is a collection of Solid State Switches (that means electronic Power Devices - MOSFETS - rather than relays) which are 'Smart', in that they detect over-current and protect themselves by switching the circuit off, as opposed to a Fuse blowing in a trouble situation. It's a programmable device that gives you control over each of the 6 channels as to whether they are constant power, or on with ignition and choice of one circuit with its own independent switch control. It also eliminates requirement to add relays if required to be controlled by ignition power or if a high current circuit is required (heated gear, auxiliary lights, air-horn etc)
There are also other simpler power distribution schemes available like Fuzeblock and Eastern Beaver's PC8 which essentially replicate what you have, with the fuses packaged into an auxiliary panel.
