But again low current anyway.

So a 200A or 300A fuse ? Really isnt going to offer the protection you think it might.
use good quality cable, terminations and route the cable as safely and securely as possible.
ie for me that means either inside or at least somewhere not around the perimeter of the vehicle that might be most vulnerable in an accident.
Yeah i know what your saying I'll run the live in plastic conduit as I've done with my fuel pump live wiring
