usually the fusible link is sized to wire size from the factory. The original wire is determined by the load. I've never been involved in aftermarket installs but I believe the link is two size lower than the wire? ie: if a 12 ga wire then you use a 16 ga link. Years ago it was rare that I'd have to change out a toasted open link. Otherwise if I had to install a regular in-line fuse I'd use a quality marine unit for another couple of bucks each that's waterproof enclosed. If the connections are coated in axle grease or dielectric and sealed in the marine connection is should be problem free and safe.

that said I'd find out what your "spaghetti" is operating and fuse it to that. Text says load should be 70% of a regular fuse rating. That's all I know.


ps: marine glass fuses are higher quality than auto shop fuses

and i changed link size per wire above after confirming in text what it should be as syzygy 1st noted
