On my Westy diesel, there was a similar fuse for the main power lead to the
engine. Blew it on a Saturday night. Figures.

Went to the local Trak Auto, and they had an ATC-style 50A fuse with holder
for about $5. I also bought a few extra fuses, just in case. These things
will be easier (IMHO) to get if you need one in a pinch!
