Fuse Amperage??? for a fuse beween the battery and the car.

agreed that it is a high current draw, but not that high!
Under full load of starting the 175 amp fuse won't blow, but.. say if
your main battery feed line chafes against the body and shorts to
ground.  That would start a fire without a fuse in place.  That would
certainly be a significant enough draw to trip the 175 amp fuse.
