[C320-list] Early Catalina 320 Battery fuses

[jackbrennan]

250 amp slow fuses on terminal blocks on the positive posts are fine. Big enough so your starter won't knock them out. Small enough so any major short will.
Make sure all cables connected to the battery are connected through the fuse.
Also, tighten all battery connections firmly with a ratchet. Loose battery connections can cause big problems.

I have an early Catalina 320 1994  #64 that does not have fuses at the batteries.  I have been looking through the 320 forum but I cannot find a reference for the size or type of fuse that has been added to these early boats.  I do not have a starting battery, my system comes straight from each battery to the A-B selector switch to the starter motor.  I was looking at the Bay Marine Single MRBF Terminal Fuse Block Kit  as a fix but wondered about the amperage of the fuse.  
I am running 2 4D batteries I do believe they are 950 CCA.
Any help or insight would be appreciated.
thanks,
Dan
