      Thanks for asking. I did mis-speak myself on that post. The 200 amp breaker will go on the 1/0 "start" cable from the remote solenoid to the starter. Even though this cable is only live during crank I didn't like the idea of having no protection on it at all. Plus, having the ability to disable the start circuit by manually turning off the breaker is something I like.
      The charge wire will be fused as will any power lead I split off to the front or rear. Fuse sizes will depend on total circuit load but The rear will probably get a 50amp and the front will see a 175.
      I am still on the fence with the fusible links. If a link does go it will leave you pretty well stranded unless you have wiring supplies stashed in the tool box or wire in extras as MAD recommends. Fuses or breakers are easily replaced or reset. Granted, if there is an issue, you still need to trouble shoot it but at least the car won't be dead in the water waiting for wiring...
