Default Battery relocation fuse or circut breaker

I wanted to know if I could use a 200 amp circut breaker instead of a fuse?
Want to be safe and not burn my car to the ground.

Those are fine. I run 2700 watts rms worth of stereo equipment in my boat off of a couple of them... Over the winter when the (3) 1 farad caps run down and I switch the batteries on in the spring, the breakers instantly pop from the current the caps instantly pull to recharge... So they work quick and well. I'll be using one on my trunk mount.

175 fuse here. I have it about a foot from the postive terminal. When the battery starts to get low it may pop on a start up. -Mark
