Tolm that fuse is too far from the battery. If that wire were ever to come out of that holder it would be flopping around and has the potential to ground off and cause a short. If you look at the two red lines l Right of circle l you have about 3 feet of wire that can get punctured that the fuse will not protect.

Pretty much all of the wire to the right of the circled area is not protected (fused)

Thanks, man

I think I understand what you are trying to say.. I am thinking to myself - If I move my second (alt to battery) fuse closer to the battery what will this change? Will I have the same long unprotected circuit to the left of the fuse ?
(which is now to the right of the fuse)


Anyways, I am pretty paranoid when it comes to power cables - tried to secure them so that they would not even move/rub or shake while I drive (wherever I could) .. here is a better pic
