As close to the battery as possible.

Definitely close to the battery.
I almost started a fire and exploded a battery on one of the company boats once due to the fuse being on the opposite end… The fuse is there to protect your battery and boat – not the 898 unit, so it needs to be as close to the battery as you can get it. Otherwise any short that happens between the fuse and the battery could well cause a fire and short out your battery.
Will do on close to battery. Thank you guys,have a good day.
