Default Large Capacity Fuse for Inverter?

I have a longer cable run than I would like from the battery to my inverter. I know that this is not ideal and I plan to change it but I will have to live with it for the time being.

I would like to put a fuse at the battery for the cables that run to the inverter. They are large cables, similar to the battery to starter cables in a car.

Has anyone put a large capacity fuse next to the battery? I have the blade type fuses installed in various places but they are not suitable for this. Something that would attach directly to the marine terminal would be nice, I'd rather not use another length of wire to hook in the fuse.

Look in this thread about page 10:

Wayne has so good suggestions. Blue sea also makes some but are much more expensive.

Thanks. Looks like the ATC style Buss fuses are exactly what I'm looking for.
