Fusible link ????
Want to know what tends to happen with a fuse or CB? People go out, replace fuse or push reset and continue on, meanwhile stuff still continues to melt in the car. Seen it too many times. Not saying people here will do that, just what tends to occur.
I did a ton of FL replacements on off road jeep stuff because they don't have the option of being stuck many times and the get it going and back to camp outweighs the melting. See above for some of why the fuse isn't always better, user error.
Protect the circuit however you wish. If your protection pops/fails, don't ignore the fact that it did its job.
