I have a fuse built into the air compressor power line which is 20% higher than the expected amp draw of the compressor and the AC has a built in circuit breaker. Should I still use fusible links in those cases? I do have a fusible link between the battery and the current junction on the passenger side.
Sounds like you've got it covered.
