I'm installing a ProMariner ProTech 1220i, the instructions say to circuit protect with an in-line fuse 4-7 inches from the battery connection or battery connection point. I plan on wiring 3 strands directly to each of the three batteries and bypassing the existing Four Winns battery charger wiring. Minimum wire gauge for the 20 amp charger and my distance is 10wg, I'm going conservative with 8wg. I've been looking around for an in-line fuse holder that will accept 8wg but I'm not having much luck. I've looked at fuse blocks but there is no where to mount it while maintaining the 7 inch maximum distance not to mention their expensive. Any reccomendations / work arounds?
This is what you are looking for:

I would use tinned wire, butt connectors and round crimp on connectors. I like using a good sealant over the connections too.
