Bill,
I just looked at that too.
My conclusion was that fusing the starter was possible but difficult (takes an expensive and very large cooper-bussman very slow-blow fuse).
But fusing the main battery bus (the part that starter current doesn't go through)  is very doable with an ANL.
I don't know if that helps your situation.  If your whole power grid is in the back it won't.  but if the rest of it is up front, it would help protect those long wires against anythong other than the starter misbehaving.
ANL data-sheet attached.

Ralf:

I also have the A/C compressor option that required me to move the battery.  I looked at mounting it above the turbo controller but was afraid of cooking the battery so I just moved  it to the  luggage compartment.

I also moved the master relay and mounted it right on the battery box.  I did considered fusing the longer battery cable but decided against it.  I think that Honda tried a battery fuse years ago with poor results. Anyway, no problems so far.
