The circuit breaker looks like tha go, a better option than a fuse.

I would suggest a 100Amp breaker (resetable so you are not looking for fuses if it trips at an awkward time) but the installation instructions should . might specify the breaker rating . If its both directions then the breaker should go in the main motor feed. make sure its protected but handy to get at quickly
Once its all working and you have tested it spray some soft seal on any exposed terminals.
All the connector lugs should be crimped with the proper tool. (I don't have one big enough for these types of lugs but any sparkie should have one) I only have little ones
