All electrical loads will pass through this fuse so I don't want it to blow upon startup. I'm making a wild guess at 130 amps. I'll see what I can find for current draw on a Civic starter, that should be my highest load.
I'm looking at getting an ANL inline fuse that the stereo crowd uses, they don't seem expensive.

The 1996-1998 Honda FSM rates thestarter motor at 1.0kw or 1.2kw (depending on which you have, I guess. Assuming 12.8 voltage, an ohm's law calculation suggests 78-94 amps, a couple amps higher draw with 12.5 voltage assumed.
