why would you not fuse anything electrical? 
i had a bottom machine once i wired in without a fuse(it only draws 1-2 amps, i don't need no stinkin fuses).  the power cord was wrapped around the hydraulic steering hoses. the machine shorted, the wire got red hot & melted the steering hose.  we were 7 miles offshore when the smoke came bellowing out of the console. 
 
yea , i think you need a fuse.
