...As for the fuse, I recall it was 25 amps, probably the biggest on the boat.
Need to be rated at least for the alternator output, that is 100A but not more than cable ampacity. Typo? 125A? I think if this fuse fries so will alternator diodes. Don't want to trip it. AFAIK 6AWG ampacity is 102A so not much margin here.
Oh well, 4 AWG it is... Guess I was trying to fool myself into using 6AWG and terminals that I had.
