Fuse distance on power cable

[J.unio.R]

I did not realize there was a distance when installing the fuse on the power cable 18 inches from the battery. I would say my fuse is about 2 ft from the battery, will this hurt the system in any way?

No it won't hurt it, but the figures there for a reason. If there's an issue the unfused section of the wire is in danger, thus the less of it there is, the better.

Ensure your fuse is of the correct size, do not go any bigger than the amp manual states.
