    all very good suggestions... as food for thought, I use a maxi-bus fuse instead of a fusible link... I personally think they are safer, and I keep a spare in the car... fusible link goes... you're down for the count... fuse blows, replace and keep going! (assuming it was just excessive load that caused it to blow)

    I use a holder with 8 awg wire... (70 amp rating)
