[QUOTE="Heresy, post: 105737, member: 540683"] Basically you want the power wire fused as close to the battery as close as possible because if it happens to short, it will only damage the wire between the fuse and the battery. If you put the fuse 20ft down the line, the wire could short, melt the wire insulation, and incinerate anything between the fuse and the battery. Keeping the distance to a minimum isn't foolproof but reduces the risk of a fire if the wire ever does happen to short. [/QUOTE]
