And *that's* why you fuse the alt wire (at the battery end). A short in
the alt will draw the full amps available from the battery & turn the
wire into a fuse if you don't.

Actually, I am hoping that is what will happen. I have an 18G fusible link
going to my alternator. Just a piece of 18G wire with fireproof insulation
around it.

That's fine; you aren't letting the #6 or #8 (or whatever) melt down at a point outside your control. There have been questions about why to fuse the alt line at all. That's what I was responding to.
