Fusible-Links and Circuit Breakers should be placed near (or as close to) the Positive Battery Terminal as Possible.

Many people believe that the primary purpose of the Circuit Breaker is to protect the device that is attached...
This is incorrect.

The Primary purpose is to protect the Wire/ Cable attached from burning-up...
And then secondarily protecting the device from subsequent damage.

Forgot the Hotwire kits for the fuel pumps. Might just get a fused distribution block for the factory fuse box and cabin distribution block instead of two 100A circuit breakers.
