    I have never seen a large fuse used inline with the main battery positive cable. I don’t know if something like that is actually available or what amperage would be used.
    Most of the OMC systems that are fused use a 20 amp fuse in the positive lead that runs from the hot side of the solenoid to the hot side of the key switch. But, as others have said, some of the electric start models/kits have no fuse protection at all. Your engine’s electric start is on the engine so I doubt there is a fuse. It wouldn’t be too tough to add the 20 amp fuse I mentioned if you are concerned.
