Everything i know says you need the fuse right up on the battery.
If i remember correctly, the outcome of a fire that destroyed someones Ranger was from a poorly placed fuse on their EFan mod - literally factory wiring for the mod kit, just placed the fuse too far from the battery.
Always high current draw components, the fuse should be as close to the supply point as possible... and of course, as being used, a Relay should be used.
The wire between the power source and the fuse can become red hot and first burn the sheathing then other things... !
The best thing to add with the fuse is an oversized wire for the main power, too big is good, too small is not so good !
